Given numbers are 956,717,251,538

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

The LCM of 956,717,251,538 is 193644492.

Find LCM of 956,717,251,538 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 239 x 2 x 3 x 251 x 269 = 193644492

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 956,717,251,538 is 193644492.

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 717 x 251 x 538 = 92562067176

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

717 : 1, 3, 239, 717

251 : 1, 251

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 956,717,251,538, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

956:2x 2x 239

717:3x 239

251:251

538:2x 269

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

2x 239 = 478

Therefore, the value for common factors is 478.

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 = 92562067176/(1x478)

LCM = 92562067176/478

LCM = 193644492

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 956,717,251,538 is 193644492.
