Given numbers are 946,932,258,431

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

The LCM of 946,932,258,431 is 570000948.

Find LCM of 946,932,258,431 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 43 x 11 x 466 x 3 x 431 = 570000948

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 946,932,258,431 is 570000948.

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 932 x 258 x 431 = 98040163056

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

932 : 1, 2, 4, 233, 466, 932

258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258

431 : 1, 431

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 946,932,258,431, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

946:2x 11x 43

932:2x 2x 233

258:2x 3x 43

431:431

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 43 = 172

Therefore, the value for common factors is 172.

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 = 98040163056/(1x172)

LCM = 98040163056/172

LCM = 570000948

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 946,932,258,431 is 570000948.
