Given numbers are 224,840,238,862

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

The LCM of 224,840,238,862 is 24618720.

Find LCM of 224,840,238,862 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 4 x 15 x 17 x 431 = 24618720

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 224,840,238,862 is 24618720.

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.

224 x 840 x 238 x 862 = 38602152960

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.

224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224

840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840

238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 224,840,238,862, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7

840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7

238:2x 7x 17

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 7x 7 = 784

Therefore, the value for common factors is 784.

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 = 38602152960/(2x784)

LCM = 38602152960/1568

LCM = 24618720

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 224,840,238,862 is 24618720.
