Given numbers are 971,218,706,872

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

The LCM of 971,218,706,872 is 298889336.

Find LCM of 971,218,706,872 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 109 x 971 x 1 x 353 x 4 = 298889336

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 971,218,706,872 is 298889336.

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.

971 x 218 x 706 x 872 = 130315750496

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.

971 : 1, 971

218 : 1, 2, 109, 218

706 : 1, 2, 353, 706

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 971,218,706,872, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

971:971

218:2x 109

706:2x 353

872:2x 2x 2x 109

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 109 = 436

Therefore, the value for common factors is 436.

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 = 130315750496/(1x436)

LCM = 130315750496/436

LCM = 298889336

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 971,218,706,872 is 298889336.
