Given numbers are 173,357,402,726,968

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

The LCM of 173,357,402,726,968 is 4005571416.

Find LCM of 173,357,402,726,968 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 11 x 11 x 173 x 119 x 67 x 1 x 4 = 4005571416

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 173,357,402,726,968 is 4005571416.

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.

173 x 357 x 402 x 726 x 968 = 17448269088096

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.

173 : 1, 173

357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357

402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402

726 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 121, 242, 363, 726

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 173,357,402,726,968, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

173:173

357:3x 7x 17

402:2x 3x 67

726:2x 3x 11x 11

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

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 3x 3x 11x 11 = 4356

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4356.

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 = 17448269088096/(1x4356)

LCM = 17448269088096/4356

LCM = 4005571416

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 173,357,402,726,968 is 4005571416.
