Given numbers are 478,668,136,521,272

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

The LCM of 478,668,136,521,272 is 5656151056.

Find LCM of 478,668,136,521,272 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 239 x 167 x 1 x 521 x 2 = 5656151056

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 478,668,136,521,272 is 5656151056.

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.

478 x 668 x 136 x 521 x 272 = 6153892348928

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.

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668

136 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136

521 : 1, 521

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 478,668,136,521,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

478:2x 239

668:2x 2x 167

136:2x 2x 2x 17

521:521

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

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 2x 2x 2x 17 = 1088

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1088.

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 = 6153892348928/(1x1088)

LCM = 6153892348928/1088

LCM = 5656151056

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 478,668,136,521,272 is 5656151056.
