Given numbers are 856,278,473,746

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

The LCM of 856,278,473,746 is 20992228136.

Find LCM of 856,278,473,746 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 428 x 139 x 473 x 373 = 20992228136

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 856,278,473,746 is 20992228136.

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.

856 x 278 x 473 x 746 = 83968912544

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.

856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

746 : 1, 2, 373, 746

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 856,278,473,746, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

856:2x 2x 2x 107

278:2x 139

473:11x 43

746:2x 373

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 = 83968912544/(1x4)

LCM = 83968912544/4

LCM = 20992228136

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 856,278,473,746 is 20992228136.
