Given numbers are 524,643,228,973

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

The LCM of 524,643,228,973 is 18686585652.

Find LCM of 524,643,228,973 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 131 x 643 x 57 x 973 = 18686585652

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 524,643,228,973 is 18686585652.

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.

524 x 643 x 228 x 973 = 74746342608

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.

524 : 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524

643 : 1, 643

228 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 57, 76, 114, 228

973 : 1, 7, 139, 973

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 524,643,228,973, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

524:2x 2x 131

643:643

228:2x 2x 3x 19

973:7x 139

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 = 74746342608/(1x4)

LCM = 74746342608/4

LCM = 18686585652

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 524,643,228,973 is 18686585652.
