Given numbers are 974,163,946,496

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

The LCM of 974,163,946,496 is 18623417648.

Find LCM of 974,163,946,496 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 487 x 163 x 473 x 248 = 18623417648

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 974,163,946,496 is 18623417648.

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.

974 x 163 x 946 x 496 = 74493670592

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.

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

163 : 1, 163

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

496 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 974,163,946,496, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

974:2x 487

163:163

946:2x 11x 43

496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31

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 = 74493670592/(1x4)

LCM = 74493670592/4

LCM = 18623417648

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 974,163,946,496 is 18623417648.
