Given numbers are 212,573,842,978

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

The LCM of 212,573,842,978 is 8336047548.

Find LCM of 212,573,842,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 106 x 191 x 421 x 163 = 8336047548

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 212,573,842,978 is 8336047548.

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.

212 x 573 x 842 x 978 = 100032570576

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.

212 : 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212

573 : 1, 3, 191, 573

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 212,573,842,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

212:2x 2x 53

573:3x 191

842:2x 421

978:2x 3x 163

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 100032570576/(1x12)

LCM = 100032570576/12

LCM = 8336047548

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 212,573,842,978 is 8336047548.
