Given numbers are 422,257,973,376,984

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

The LCM of 422,257,973,376,984 is 2440177258008.

Find LCM of 422,257,973,376,984 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 211 x 257 x 973 x 47 x 123 = 2440177258008

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 422,257,973,376,984 is 2440177258008.

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.

422 x 257 x 973 x 376 x 984 = 39042836128128

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.

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

257 : 1, 257

973 : 1, 7, 139, 973

376 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 47, 94, 188, 376

984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 422,257,973,376,984, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

422:2x 211

257:257

973:7x 139

376:2x 2x 2x 47

984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41

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 = 39042836128128/(1x16)

LCM = 39042836128128/16

LCM = 2440177258008

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 422,257,973,376,984 is 2440177258008.
