Given numbers are 424,203,954,973,172

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

The LCM of 424,203,954,973,172 is 4630071096.

Find LCM of 424,203,954,973,172 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 7 x 53 x 2 x 29 x 9 x 139 x 43 = 4630071096

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 424,203,954,973,172 is 4630071096.

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.

424 x 203 x 954 x 973 x 172 = 13742051012928

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.

424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

954 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 53, 106, 159, 318, 477, 954

973 : 1, 7, 139, 973

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 424,203,954,973,172, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

424:2x 2x 2x 53

203:7x 29

954:2x 3x 3x 53

973:7x 139

172:2x 2x 43

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 7x 53 = 2968

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2968.

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 = 13742051012928/(1x2968)

LCM = 13742051012928/2968

LCM = 4630071096

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 424,203,954,973,172 is 4630071096.
