Given numbers are 952,431,678,337,317

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

The LCM of 952,431,678,337,317 is 14859461799672.

Find LCM of 952,431,678,337,317 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 476 x 431 x 339 x 337 x 317 = 14859461799672

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 952,431,678,337,317 is 14859461799672.

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.

952 x 431 x 678 x 337 x 317 = 29718923599344

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.

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

431 : 1, 431

678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678

337 : 1, 337

317 : 1, 317

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 952,431,678,337,317, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17

431:431

678:2x 3x 113

337:337

317:317

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 29718923599344/(1x2)

LCM = 29718923599344/2

LCM = 14859461799672

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 952,431,678,337,317 is 14859461799672.
