Given numbers are 979,642,256,232

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

The LCM of 979,642,256,232 is 2333058816.

Find LCM of 979,642,256,232 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 979 x 321 x 32 x 29 = 2333058816

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 979,642,256,232 is 2333058816.

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.

979 x 642 x 256 x 232 = 37328941056

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.

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

256 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256

232 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 979,642,256,232, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

979:11x 89

642:2x 3x 107

256:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2

232:2x 2x 2x 29

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 = 37328941056/(1x16)

LCM = 37328941056/16

LCM = 2333058816

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 979,642,256,232 is 2333058816.
