Given numbers are 168,272,872,298,862

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

The LCM of 168,272,872,298,862 is 39983263152.

Find LCM of 168,272,872,298,862 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 21 x 34 x 109 x 149 x 431 = 39983263152

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 168,272,872,298,862 is 39983263152.

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.

168 x 272 x 872 x 298 x 862 = 10235715366912

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.

168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

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

298 : 1, 2, 149, 298

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 168,272,872,298,862, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

872:2x 2x 2x 109

298:2x 149

862:2x 431

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 2x 2x 2x 2 = 128

Therefore, the value for common factors is 128.

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 = 10235715366912/(2x128)

LCM = 10235715366912/256

LCM = 39983263152

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 168,272,872,298,862 is 39983263152.
