Given numbers are 940,952,493,568

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

The LCM of 940,952,493,568 is 460639480.

Find LCM of 940,952,493,568 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 235 x 7 x 29 x 71 = 460639480

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 940,952,493,568 is 460639480.

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.

940 x 952 x 493 x 568 = 250587877120

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.

940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940

952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952

493 : 1, 17, 29, 493

568 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 71, 142, 284, 568

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 940,952,493,568, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

940:2x 2x 5x 47

952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17

493:17x 29

568:2x 2x 2x 71

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 17 = 544

Therefore, the value for common factors is 544.

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 = 250587877120/(1x544)

LCM = 250587877120/544

LCM = 460639480

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 940,952,493,568 is 460639480.
