Given numbers are 946,572,879,461,278

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

The LCM of 946,572,879,461,278 is 1385380546836.

Find LCM of 946,572,879,461,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 11 x 43 x 26 x 879 x 461 x 139 = 1385380546836

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 946,572,879,461,278 is 1385380546836.

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.

946 x 572 x 879 x 461 x 278 = 60956744060784

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.

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

572 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, 572

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

461 : 1, 461

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 946,572,879,461,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

946:2x 11x 43

572:2x 2x 11x 13

879:3x 293

461:461

278:2x 139

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 11 = 44

Therefore, the value for common factors is 44.

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 = 60956744060784/(1x44)

LCM = 60956744060784/44

LCM = 1385380546836

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 946,572,879,461,278 is 1385380546836.
