Given numbers are 404,978,877,163

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

The LCM of 404,978,877,163 is 173256612.

Find LCM of 404,978,877,163 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 163 x 202 x 3 x 877 x 1 = 173256612

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 404,978,877,163 is 173256612.

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.

404 x 978 x 877 x 163 = 56481655512

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.

404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

877 : 1, 877

163 : 1, 163

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 404,978,877,163, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

404:2x 2x 101

978:2x 3x 163

877:877

163:163

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 163 = 326

Therefore, the value for common factors is 326.

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 = 56481655512/(1x326)

LCM = 56481655512/326

LCM = 173256612

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 404,978,877,163 is 173256612.
