Given numbers are 956,672,860,688,474

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

The LCM of 956,672,860,688,474 is 2727926880.

Find LCM of 956,672,860,688,474 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 43 x 239 x 14 x 5 x 1 x 79 = 2727926880

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 956,672,860,688,474 is 2727926880.

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 672 x 860 x 688 x 474 = 180174114570240

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

672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672

860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 956,672,860,688,474, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

956:2x 2x 239

672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7

860:2x 2x 5x 43

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

474:2x 3x 79

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 2x 2x 3x 43 = 33024

Therefore, the value for common factors is 33024.

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 = 180174114570240/(2x33024)

LCM = 180174114570240/66048

LCM = 2727926880

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 956,672,860,688,474 is 2727926880.
