Given numbers are 432,986,968,163

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

The LCM of 432,986,968,163 is 4200525648.

Find LCM of 432,986,968,163 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 54 x 493 x 121 x 163 = 4200525648

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 432,986,968,163 is 4200525648.

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.

432 x 986 x 968 x 163 = 67208410368

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.

432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

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

163 : 1, 163

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 432,986,968,163, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3

986:2x 17x 29

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

163:163

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 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 = 67208410368/(1x16)

LCM = 67208410368/16

LCM = 4200525648

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 432,986,968,163 is 4200525648.
