Given numbers are 388,627,187,657,272

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

The LCM of 388,627,187,657,272 is 3622866192.

Find LCM of 388,627,187,657,272 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 17 x 97 x 19 x 1 x 219 x 4 = 3622866192

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 388,627,187,657,272 is 3622866192.

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.

388 x 627 x 187 x 657 x 272 = 8129711734848

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.

388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388

627 : 1, 3, 11, 19, 33, 57, 209, 627

187 : 1, 11, 17, 187

657 : 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, 657

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 388,627,187,657,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

388:2x 2x 97

627:3x 11x 19

187:11x 17

657:3x 3x 73

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

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 3x 11x 17 = 2244

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2244.

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 = 8129711734848/(1x2244)

LCM = 8129711734848/2244

LCM = 3622866192

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 388,627,187,657,272 is 3622866192.
