Given numbers are 962,178,717,738,278

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

The LCM of 962,178,717,738,278 is 1049552448282.

Find LCM of 962,178,717,738,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 481 x 89 x 239 x 123 x 139 = 1049552448282

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 962,178,717,738,278 is 1049552448282.

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.

962 x 178 x 717 x 738 x 278 = 25189258758768

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.

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

717 : 1, 3, 239, 717

738 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 962,178,717,738,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

962:2x 13x 37

178:2x 89

717:3x 239

738:2x 3x 3x 41

278:2x 139

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 25189258758768/(1x24)

LCM = 25189258758768/24

LCM = 1049552448282

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 962,178,717,738,278 is 1049552448282.
