Given numbers are 234,685,712,178

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

The LCM of 234,685,712,178 is 57063240.

Find LCM of 234,685,712,178 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 89 x 117 x 685 x 4 x 1 = 57063240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 234,685,712,178 is 57063240.

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.

234 x 685 x 712 x 178 = 20314513440

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.

234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234

685 : 1, 5, 137, 685

712 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 89, 178, 356, 712

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 234,685,712,178, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

234:2x 3x 3x 13

685:5x 137

712:2x 2x 2x 89

178:2x 89

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 89 = 356

Therefore, the value for common factors is 356.

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 = 20314513440/(1x356)

LCM = 20314513440/356

LCM = 57063240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 234,685,712,178 is 57063240.
