Given numbers are 172,731,482,866

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

The LCM of 172,731,482,866 is 305128172.

Find LCM of 172,731,482,866 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 43 x 2 x 17 x 241 x 433 = 305128172

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 172,731,482,866 is 305128172.

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 731 x 482 x 866 = 52482045584

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

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

866 : 1, 2, 433, 866

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 172,731,482,866, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

172:2x 2x 43

731:17x 43

482:2x 241

866:2x 433

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 = 52482045584/(1x172)

LCM = 52482045584/172

LCM = 305128172

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 172,731,482,866 is 305128172.
