Given numbers are 172,946,729,596,281

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 172,946,729,596,281 is 57748571892.

Find LCM of 172,946,729,596,281 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 43 x 1 x 11 x 729 x 149 x 281 = 57748571892

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 172,946,729,596,281 is 57748571892.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

172 x 946 x 729 x 596 x 281 = 19865508730848

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

729 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729

596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596

281 : 1, 281

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 172,946,729,596,281, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

172:2x 2x 43

946:2x 11x 43

729:3x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

596:2x 2x 149

281:281

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2x 2x 43 = 344

Therefore, the value for common factors is 344.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 19865508730848/(1x344)

LCM = 19865508730848/344

LCM = 57748571892

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 172,946,729,596,281 is 57748571892.
