Given numbers are 978,482,538,317

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

The LCM of 978,482,538,317 is 20098675554.

Find LCM of 978,482,538,317 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 489 x 241 x 269 x 317 = 20098675554

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,482,538,317 is 20098675554.

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.

978 x 482 x 538 x 317 = 80394702216

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.

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

317 : 1, 317

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,482,538,317, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

978:2x 3x 163

482:2x 241

538:2x 269

317:317

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 = 80394702216/(1x4)

LCM = 80394702216/4

LCM = 20098675554

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,482,538,317 is 20098675554.
