Given numbers are 406,688,473,163,572

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

The LCM of 406,688,473,163,572 is 3255428176.

Find LCM of 406,688,473,163,572 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 11 x 43 x 203 x 4 x 1 x 163 x 13 = 3255428176

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 406,688,473,163,572 is 3255428176.

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.

406 x 688 x 473 x 163 x 572 = 12318540217984

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.

406 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 29, 58, 203, 406

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

163 : 1, 163

572 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, 572

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 406,688,473,163,572, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

406:2x 7x 29

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

473:11x 43

163:163

572:2x 2x 11x 13

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 11x 43 = 3784

Therefore, the value for common factors is 3784.

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 = 12318540217984/(1x3784)

LCM = 12318540217984/3784

LCM = 3255428176

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 406,688,473,163,572 is 3255428176.
