Given numbers are 888,616,462,974,948

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

The LCM of 888,616,462,974,948 is 2630629848.

Find LCM of 888,616,462,974,948 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 37 x 1 x 1 x 487 x 79 = 2630629848

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 888,616,462,974,948 is 2630629848.

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.

888 x 616 x 462 x 974 x 948 = 233347390036992

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.

888 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, 888

616 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 56, 77, 88, 154, 308, 616

462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 888,616,462,974,948, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

888:2x 2x 2x 3x 37

616:2x 2x 2x 7x 11

462:2x 3x 7x 11

974:2x 487

948:2x 2x 3x 79

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 7x 11 = 44352

Therefore, the value for common factors is 44352.

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 = 233347390036992/(2x44352)

LCM = 233347390036992/88704

LCM = 2630629848

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 888,616,462,974,948 is 2630629848.
