Given numbers are 968,656,230,190,552

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

The LCM of 968,656,230,190,552 is 520309680.

Find LCM of 968,656,230,190,552 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 23 x 121 x 82 x 1 x 19 x 3 = 520309680

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,656,230,190,552 is 520309680.

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.

968 x 656 x 230 x 190 x 552 = 15317916979200

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.

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656

230 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 46, 115, 230

190 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 38, 95, 190

552 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,656,230,190,552, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41

230:2x 5x 23

190:2x 5x 19

552:2x 2x 2x 3x 23

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 5x 23 = 14720

Therefore, the value for common factors is 14720.

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 = 15317916979200/(2x14720)

LCM = 15317916979200/29440

LCM = 520309680

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,656,230,190,552 is 520309680.
