Given numbers are 232,438,374,985

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

The LCM of 232,438,374,985 is 9358579560.

Find LCM of 232,438,374,985 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 116 x 219 x 187 x 985 = 9358579560

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 232,438,374,985 is 9358579560.

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.

232 x 438 x 374 x 985 = 37434318240

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.

232 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 232,438,374,985, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

232:2x 2x 2x 29

438:2x 3x 73

374:2x 11x 17

985:5x 197

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 = 37434318240/(1x4)

LCM = 37434318240/4

LCM = 9358579560

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 232,438,374,985 is 9358579560.
