Given numbers are 493,740,523,172

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

The LCM of 493,740,523,172 is 8204436980.

Find LCM of 493,740,523,172 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 493 x 185 x 523 x 43 = 8204436980

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 493,740,523,172 is 8204436980.

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.

493 x 740 x 523 x 172 = 32817747920

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.

493 : 1, 17, 29, 493

740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740

523 : 1, 523

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 493,740,523,172, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

493:17x 29

740:2x 2x 5x 37

523:523

172:2x 2x 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 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 32817747920/(1x4)

LCM = 32817747920/4

LCM = 8204436980

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 493,740,523,172 is 8204436980.
