Given numbers are 471,743,104,978

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

The LCM of 471,743,104,978 is 5932403256.

Find LCM of 471,743,104,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 157 x 743 x 52 x 163 = 5932403256

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 471,743,104,978 is 5932403256.

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.

471 x 743 x 104 x 978 = 35594419536

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.

471 : 1, 3, 157, 471

743 : 1, 743

104 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 104

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 471,743,104,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

471:3x 157

743:743

104:2x 2x 2x 13

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 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 35594419536/(1x6)

LCM = 35594419536/6

LCM = 5932403256

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 471,743,104,978 is 5932403256.
