Given numbers are 326,856,204,428,431

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

The LCM of 326,856,204,428,431 is 3066964968.

Find LCM of 326,856,204,428,431 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 107 x 163 x 1 x 51 x 2 x 431 = 3066964968

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 326,856,204,428,431 is 3066964968.

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.

326 x 856 x 204 x 428 x 431 = 10501288050432

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.

326 : 1, 2, 163, 326

856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856

204 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204

428 : 1, 2, 4, 107, 214, 428

431 : 1, 431

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 326,856,204,428,431, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

326:2x 163

856:2x 2x 2x 107

204:2x 2x 3x 17

428:2x 2x 107

431:431

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 2x 107 = 3424

Therefore, the value for common factors is 3424.

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 = 10501288050432/(1x3424)

LCM = 10501288050432/3424

LCM = 3066964968

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 326,856,204,428,431 is 3066964968.
