Given numbers are 596,846,178,422

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

The LCM of 596,846,178,422 is 4734336132.

Find LCM of 596,846,178,422 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 298 x 423 x 89 x 211 = 4734336132

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 596,846,178,422 is 4734336132.

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 846 x 178 x 422 = 37874689056

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

846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 596,846,178,422, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

596:2x 2x 149

846:2x 3x 3x 47

178:2x 89

422:2x 211

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 = 37874689056/(2x4)

LCM = 37874689056/8

LCM = 4734336132

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 596,846,178,422 is 4734336132.
