Given numbers are 232,571,220,172

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

The LCM of 232,571,220,172 is 313296280.

Find LCM of 232,571,220,172 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 58 x 571 x 55 x 43 = 313296280

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 232,571,220,172 is 313296280.

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.

232 x 571 x 220 x 172 = 5012740480

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.

232 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232

571 : 1, 571

220 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110, 220

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 232,571,220,172, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

232:2x 2x 2x 29

571:571

220:2x 2x 5x 11

172:2x 2x 43

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 5012740480/(1x16)

LCM = 5012740480/16

LCM = 313296280

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 232,571,220,172 is 313296280.
