Given numbers are 970,338,178,422

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

The LCM of 970,338,178,422 is 3078441470.

Find LCM of 970,338,178,422 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 485 x 169 x 89 x 211 = 3078441470

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 970,338,178,422 is 3078441470.

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.

970 x 338 x 178 x 422 = 24627531760

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.

970 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 970,338,178,422, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

970:2x 5x 97

338:2x 13x 13

178:2x 89

422:2x 211

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 24627531760/(2x4)

LCM = 24627531760/8

LCM = 3078441470

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 970,338,178,422 is 3078441470.
