Given numbers are 959,688,387,853,740

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

The LCM of 959,688,387,853,740 is 937066289040.

Find LCM of 959,688,387,853,740 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 43 x 959 x 4 x 9 x 853 x 185 = 937066289040

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 959,688,387,853,740 is 937066289040.

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.

959 x 688 x 387 x 853 x 740 = 161175401714880

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.

959 : 1, 7, 137, 959

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

387 : 1, 3, 9, 43, 129, 387

853 : 1, 853

740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 959,688,387,853,740, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

959:7x 137

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

387:3x 3x 43

853:853

740:2x 2x 5x 37

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 43 = 172

Therefore, the value for common factors is 172.

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 = 161175401714880/(1x172)

LCM = 161175401714880/172

LCM = 937066289040

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 959,688,387,853,740 is 937066289040.
