Given numbers are 229,272,916,687

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

The LCM of 229,272,916,687 is 186864.

Find LCM of 229,272,916,687 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 229 x 1 x 68 x 1 x 3 = 186864

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 229,272,916,687 is 186864.

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.

229 x 272 x 916 x 687 = 39197340096

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.

229 : 1, 229

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

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

687 : 1, 3, 229, 687

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 229,272,916,687, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

229:229

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

916:2x 2x 229

687:3x 229

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 229x 229 = 209764

Therefore, the value for common factors is 209764.

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 = 39197340096/(1x209764)

LCM = 39197340096/209764

LCM = 186864

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 229,272,916,687 is 186864.
