Given numbers are 802,978,235,258

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

The LCM of 802,978,235,258 is 3962958690.

Find LCM of 802,978,235,258 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 401 x 163 x 235 x 43 = 3962958690

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 802,978,235,258 is 3962958690.

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.

802 x 978 x 235 x 258 = 47555504280

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.

802 : 1, 2, 401, 802

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

235 : 1, 5, 47, 235

258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 802,978,235,258, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

802:2x 401

978:2x 3x 163

235:5x 47

258:2x 3x 43

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 47555504280/(1x12)

LCM = 47555504280/12

LCM = 3962958690

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 802,978,235,258 is 3962958690.
