Given numbers are 296,228,662,271,974

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

The LCM of 296,228,662,271,974 is 737042977464.

Find LCM of 296,228,662,271,974 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 74 x 57 x 331 x 271 x 487 = 737042977464

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 296,228,662,271,974 is 737042977464.

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.

296 x 228 x 662 x 271 x 974 = 11792687639424

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.

296 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 37, 74, 148, 296

228 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 57, 76, 114, 228

662 : 1, 2, 331, 662

271 : 1, 271

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 296,228,662,271,974, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

296:2x 2x 2x 37

228:2x 2x 3x 19

662:2x 331

271:271

974:2x 487

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 11792687639424/(1x16)

LCM = 11792687639424/16

LCM = 737042977464

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 296,228,662,271,974 is 737042977464.
