Given numbers are 472,158,972,770

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

The LCM of 472,158,972,770 is 3488478840.

Find LCM of 472,158,972,770 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 118 x 79 x 243 x 385 = 3488478840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 472,158,972,770 is 3488478840.

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.

472 x 158 x 972 x 770 = 55815661440

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.

472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472

158 : 1, 2, 79, 158

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

770 : 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14, 22, 35, 55, 70, 77, 110, 154, 385, 770

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 472,158,972,770, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

472:2x 2x 2x 59

158:2x 79

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

770:2x 5x 7x 11

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 55815661440/(2x8)

LCM = 55815661440/16

LCM = 3488478840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 472,158,972,770 is 3488478840.
