Given numbers are 956,431,218,643

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

The LCM of 956,431,218,643 is 28878367132.

Find LCM of 956,431,218,643 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 478 x 431 x 109 x 643 = 28878367132

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 956,431,218,643 is 28878367132.

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.

956 x 431 x 218 x 643 = 57756734264

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.

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

431 : 1, 431

218 : 1, 2, 109, 218

643 : 1, 643

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 956,431,218,643, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

956:2x 2x 239

431:431

218:2x 109

643:643

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 = 57756734264/(1x2)

LCM = 57756734264/2

LCM = 28878367132

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 956,431,218,643 is 28878367132.
