Given numbers are 968,978,409,163

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

The LCM of 968,978,409,163 is 193600968.

Find LCM of 968,978,409,163 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 163 x 484 x 3 x 409 x 1 = 193600968

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,978,409,163 is 193600968.

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 978 x 409 x 163 = 63113915568

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

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

409 : 1, 409

163 : 1, 163

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,978,409,163, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

978:2x 3x 163

409:409

163:163

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

2x 163 = 326

Therefore, the value for common factors is 326.

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 = 63113915568/(1x326)

LCM = 63113915568/326

LCM = 193600968

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,978,409,163 is 193600968.
