Given numbers are 596,658,176,972

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

The LCM of 596,658,176,972 is 2096530128.

Find LCM of 596,658,176,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 149 x 329 x 44 x 243 = 2096530128

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 596,658,176,972 is 2096530128.

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.

596 x 658 x 176 x 972 = 67088964096

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.

596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596

658 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 47, 94, 329, 658

176 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 596,658,176,972, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

596:2x 2x 149

658:2x 7x 47

176:2x 2x 2x 2x 11

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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 2x 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 67088964096/(2x16)

LCM = 67088964096/32

LCM = 2096530128

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 596,658,176,972 is 2096530128.
