Given numbers are 859,135,956,978

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

The LCM of 859,135,956,978 is 18070594020.

Find LCM of 859,135,956,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 859 x 45 x 478 x 163 = 18070594020

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 859,135,956,978 is 18070594020.

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.

859 x 135 x 956 x 978 = 108423564120

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.

859 : 1, 859

135 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 135

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 859,135,956,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

859:859

135:3x 3x 3x 5

956:2x 2x 239

978:2x 3x 163

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 108423564120/(1x6)

LCM = 108423564120/6

LCM = 18070594020

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 859,135,956,978 is 18070594020.
