Given numbers are 422,334,958,978

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

The LCM of 422,334,958,978 is 16507195494.

Find LCM of 422,334,958,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 211 x 167 x 479 x 489 = 16507195494

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 422,334,958,978 is 16507195494.

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 334 x 958 x 978 = 132057563952

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

334 : 1, 2, 167, 334

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 422,334,958,978, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

422:2x 211

334:2x 167

958:2x 479

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 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 132057563952/(2x4)

LCM = 132057563952/8

LCM = 16507195494

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 422,334,958,978 is 16507195494.
