Given numbers are 236,978,652,872

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

The LCM of 236,978,652,872 is 25158072.

Find LCM of 236,978,652,872 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 163 x 59 x 3 x 1 x 218 = 25158072

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 236,978,652,872 is 25158072.

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.

236 x 978 x 652 x 872 = 131224503552

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.

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

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

652 : 1, 2, 4, 163, 326, 652

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 236,978,652,872, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

236:2x 2x 59

978:2x 3x 163

652:2x 2x 163

872:2x 2x 2x 109

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 2x 2x 163 = 2608

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2608.

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 = 131224503552/(2x2608)

LCM = 131224503552/5216

LCM = 25158072

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 236,978,652,872 is 25158072.
