Given numbers are 523,156,201,873,178

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

The LCM of 523,156,201,873,178 is 141574190004.

Find LCM of 523,156,201,873,178 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 523 x 26 x 67 x 291 x 89 = 141574190004

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 523,156,201,873,178 is 141574190004.

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.

523 x 156 x 201 x 873 x 178 = 2548335420072

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.

523 : 1, 523

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

201 : 1, 3, 67, 201

873 : 1, 3, 9, 97, 291, 873

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 523,156,201,873,178, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

523:523

156:2x 2x 3x 13

201:3x 67

873:3x 3x 97

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 3x 3 = 18

Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.

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 = 2548335420072/(1x18)

LCM = 2548335420072/18

LCM = 141574190004

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 523,156,201,873,178 is 141574190004.
