Given numbers are 972,395,536,428

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

The LCM of 972,395,536,428 is 5504931720.

Find LCM of 972,395,536,428 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 243 x 395 x 134 x 107 = 5504931720

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,395,536,428 is 5504931720.

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 395 x 536 x 428 = 88078907520

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

395 : 1, 5, 79, 395

536 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 67, 134, 268, 536

428 : 1, 2, 4, 107, 214, 428

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,395,536,428, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

395:5x 79

536:2x 2x 2x 67

428:2x 2x 107

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 88078907520/(1x16)

LCM = 88078907520/16

LCM = 5504931720

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,395,536,428 is 5504931720.
