Given numbers are 994,172,473,878

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

The LCM of 994,172,473,878 is 412802236.

Find LCM of 994,172,473,878 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 43 x 497 x 2 x 11 x 439 = 412802236

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 994,172,473,878 is 412802236.

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.

994 x 172 x 473 x 878 = 71001984592

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.

994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 994,172,473,878, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

994:2x 7x 71

172:2x 2x 43

473:11x 43

878:2x 439

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 43 = 172

Therefore, the value for common factors is 172.

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 = 71001984592/(1x172)

LCM = 71001984592/172

LCM = 412802236

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 994,172,473,878 is 412802236.
