Given numbers are 952,972,426,438

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

The LCM of 952,972,426,438 is 1199014488.

Find LCM of 952,972,426,438 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 238 x 81 x 71 x 73 = 1199014488

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 952,972,426,438 is 1199014488.

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 972 x 426 x 438 = 172658086272

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

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

426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 952,972,426,438, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17

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

426:2x 3x 71

438:2x 3x 73

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 3x 3 = 72

Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.

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 = 172658086272/(2x72)

LCM = 172658086272/144

LCM = 1199014488

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 952,972,426,438 is 1199014488.
