Given numbers are 848,985,173,318

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

The LCM of 848,985,173,318 is 433510320.

Find LCM of 848,985,173,318 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 53 x 8 x 985 x 173 x 3 = 433510320

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 848,985,173,318 is 433510320.

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.

848 x 985 x 173 x 318 = 45952093920

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.

848 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

173 : 1, 173

318 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 53, 106, 159, 318

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 848,985,173,318, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

848:2x 2x 2x 2x 53

985:5x 197

173:173

318:2x 3x 53

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

2x 53 = 106

Therefore, the value for common factors is 106.

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 = 45952093920/(1x106)

LCM = 45952093920/106

LCM = 433510320

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 848,985,173,318 is 433510320.
