Given numbers are 936,156,956,462

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

The LCM of 936,156,956,462 is 17225208.

Find LCM of 936,156,956,462 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 6 x 1 x 239 x 77 = 17225208

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 936,156,956,462 is 17225208.

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.

936 x 156 x 956 x 462 = 64491178752

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.

936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

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

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 936,156,956,462, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13

156:2x 2x 3x 13

956:2x 2x 239

462:2x 3x 7x 11

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 3x 3x 13 = 1872

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1872.

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 = 64491178752/(2x1872)

LCM = 64491178752/3744

LCM = 17225208

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 936,156,956,462 is 17225208.
