Given numbers are 172,248,916,129,746

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

The LCM of 172,248,916,129,746 is 2732660664.

Find LCM of 172,248,916,129,746 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 43 x 1 x 62 x 229 x 3 x 373 = 2732660664

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 172,248,916,129,746 is 2732660664.

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.

172 x 248 x 916 x 129 x 746 = 3760141073664

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.

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

248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248

916 : 1, 2, 4, 229, 458, 916

129 : 1, 3, 43, 129

746 : 1, 2, 373, 746

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 172,248,916,129,746, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

172:2x 2x 43

248:2x 2x 2x 31

916:2x 2x 229

129:3x 43

746:2x 373

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 43 = 1376

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1376.

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 = 3760141073664/(1x1376)

LCM = 3760141073664/1376

LCM = 2732660664

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 172,248,916,129,746 is 2732660664.
