Given numbers are 247,742,953,978

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

The LCM of 247,742,953,978 is 85408799658.

Find LCM of 247,742,953,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 247 x 371 x 953 x 489 = 85408799658

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 247,742,953,978 is 85408799658.

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.

247 x 742 x 953 x 978 = 170817599316

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.

247 : 1, 13, 19, 247

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

953 : 1, 953

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 247,742,953,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

247:13x 19

742:2x 7x 53

953:953

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.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 170817599316/(1x2)

LCM = 170817599316/2

LCM = 85408799658

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 247,742,953,978 is 85408799658.
