Given numbers are 197,596,203,407,940

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

The LCM of 197,596,203,407,940 is 2279663760220.

Find LCM of 197,596,203,407,940 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 197 x 149 x 203 x 407 x 235 = 2279663760220

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 197,596,203,407,940 is 2279663760220.

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.

197 x 596 x 203 x 407 x 940 = 9118655040880

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.

197 : 1, 197

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

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

407 : 1, 11, 37, 407

940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 197,596,203,407,940, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

197:197

596:2x 2x 149

203:7x 29

407:11x 37

940:2x 2x 5x 47

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 9118655040880/(1x4)

LCM = 9118655040880/4

LCM = 2279663760220

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 197,596,203,407,940 is 2279663760220.
