Given numbers are 259,163,437,347,978

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

The LCM of 259,163,437,347,978 is 38410461978.

Find LCM of 259,163,437,347,978 with Prime Factorization

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

163 x 259 x 1 x 437 x 347 x 6 = 38410461978

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,163,437,347,978 is 38410461978.

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.

259 x 163 x 437 x 347 x 978 = 6260905302414

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.

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

163 : 1, 163

437 : 1, 19, 23, 437

347 : 1, 347

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 259,163,437,347,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

163:163

437:19x 23

347:347

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.

163 = 163

Therefore, the value for common factors is 163.

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 = 6260905302414/(1x163)

LCM = 6260905302414/163

LCM = 38410461978

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,163,437,347,978 is 38410461978.
