Given numbers are 431,106,968,962

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

The LCM of 431,106,968,962 is 10635883544.

Find LCM of 431,106,968,962 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 53 x 484 x 481 = 10635883544

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 431,106,968,962 is 10635883544.

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.

431 x 106 x 968 x 962 = 42543534176

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.

431 : 1, 431

106 : 1, 2, 53, 106

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 431,106,968,962, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

431:431

106:2x 53

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

962:2x 13x 37

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 = 42543534176/(1x4)

LCM = 42543534176/4

LCM = 10635883544

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 431,106,968,962 is 10635883544.
