Given numbers are 879,178,946,226

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

The LCM of 879,178,946,226 is 8362737438.

Find LCM of 879,178,946,226 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 879 x 89 x 473 x 113 = 8362737438

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 879,178,946,226 is 8362737438.

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.

879 x 178 x 946 x 226 = 33450949752

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.

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

226 : 1, 2, 113, 226

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 879,178,946,226, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

879:3x 293

178:2x 89

946:2x 11x 43

226:2x 113

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 = 33450949752/(1x4)

LCM = 33450949752/4

LCM = 8362737438

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 879,178,946,226 is 8362737438.
