Given numbers are 317,527,273,236,978

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

The LCM of 317,527,273,236,978 is 1754414192076.

Find LCM of 317,527,273,236,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 317 x 527 x 91 x 118 x 163 = 1754414192076

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 317,527,273,236,978 is 1754414192076.

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.

317 x 527 x 273 x 236 x 978 = 10526485152456

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.

317 : 1, 317

527 : 1, 17, 31, 527

273 : 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 39, 91, 273

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

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 317,527,273,236,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

317:317

527:17x 31

273:3x 7x 13

236:2x 2x 59

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.

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 10526485152456/(1x6)

LCM = 10526485152456/6

LCM = 1754414192076

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 317,527,273,236,978 is 1754414192076.
