Given numbers are 508,438,894,178

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

The LCM of 508,438,894,178 is 1475312772.

Find LCM of 508,438,894,178 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 254 x 73 x 149 x 89 = 1475312772

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 508,438,894,178 is 1475312772.

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.

508 x 438 x 894 x 178 = 35407506528

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.

508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

894 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 149, 298, 447, 894

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 508,438,894,178, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

508:2x 2x 127

438:2x 3x 73

894:2x 3x 149

178:2x 89

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 35407506528/(2x12)

LCM = 35407506528/24

LCM = 1475312772

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 508,438,894,178 is 1475312772.
