Given numbers are 949,224,444,332,972

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

The LCM of 949,224,444,332,972 is 158635477728.

Find LCM of 949,224,444,332,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 949 x 56 x 37 x 83 x 81 = 158635477728

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 949,224,444,332,972 is 158635477728.

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.

949 x 224 x 444 x 332 x 972 = 30458011723776

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.

949 : 1, 13, 73, 949

224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224

444 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 444

332 : 1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 949,224,444,332,972, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

949:13x 73

224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7

444:2x 2x 3x 37

332:2x 2x 83

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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 3 = 192

Therefore, the value for common factors is 192.

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 = 30458011723776/(1x192)

LCM = 30458011723776/192

LCM = 158635477728

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 949,224,444,332,972 is 158635477728.
