Given numbers are 972,347,953,871,266

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

The LCM of 972,347,953,871,266 is 37235606862636.

Find LCM of 972,347,953,871,266 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 486 x 347 x 953 x 871 x 133 = 37235606862636

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,347,953,871,266 is 37235606862636.

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.

972 x 347 x 953 x 871 x 266 = 74471213725272

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.

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

347 : 1, 347

953 : 1, 953

871 : 1, 13, 67, 871

266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,347,953,871,266, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

347:347

953:953

871:13x 67

266:2x 7x 19

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 74471213725272/(1x2)

LCM = 74471213725272/2

LCM = 37235606862636

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,347,953,871,266 is 37235606862636.
