Given numbers are 668,491,431,963,862

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

The LCM of 668,491,431,963,862 is 136132403364.

Find LCM of 668,491,431,963,862 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 334 x 491 x 1 x 963 x 1 = 136132403364

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 668,491,431,963,862 is 136132403364.

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.

668 x 491 x 431 x 963 x 862 = 117346131699768

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.

668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668

491 : 1, 491

431 : 1, 431

963 : 1, 3, 9, 107, 321, 963

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 668,491,431,963,862, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

668:2x 2x 167

491:491

431:431

963:3x 3x 107

862:2x 431

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 431 = 862

Therefore, the value for common factors is 862.

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 = 117346131699768/(1x862)

LCM = 117346131699768/862

LCM = 136132403364

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 668,491,431,963,862 is 136132403364.
