Given numbers are 478,986,237,731

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

The LCM of 478,986,237,731 is 2401549914.

Find LCM of 478,986,237,731 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 17 x 239 x 29 x 237 x 43 = 2401549914

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 478,986,237,731 is 2401549914.

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 986 x 237 x 731 = 81652697076

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

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

237 : 1, 3, 79, 237

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 478,986,237,731, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

478:2x 239

986:2x 17x 29

237:3x 79

731:17x 43

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

2x 17 = 34

Therefore, the value for common factors is 34.

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 = 81652697076/(1x34)

LCM = 81652697076/34

LCM = 2401549914

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 478,986,237,731 is 2401549914.
