Given numbers are 978,586,872,566

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

The LCM of 978,586,872,566 is 35357324952.

Find LCM of 978,586,872,566 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 489 x 293 x 436 x 283 = 35357324952

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,586,872,566 is 35357324952.

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 586 x 872 x 566 = 282858599616

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

586 : 1, 2, 293, 586

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

566 : 1, 2, 283, 566

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,586,872,566, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

978:2x 3x 163

586:2x 293

872:2x 2x 2x 109

566:2x 283

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 = 282858599616/(2x4)

LCM = 282858599616/8

LCM = 35357324952

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,586,872,566 is 35357324952.
