Given numbers are 424,254,438,432,848

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

The LCM of 424,254,438,432,848 is 212268816.

Find LCM of 424,254,438,432,848 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 53 x 1 x 127 x 73 x 9 x 1 = 212268816

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 424,254,438,432,848 is 212268816.

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.

424 x 254 x 438 x 432 x 848 = 17280379772928

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.

424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424

254 : 1, 2, 127, 254

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432

848 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 424,254,438,432,848, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

424:2x 2x 2x 53

254:2x 127

438:2x 3x 73

432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3

848:2x 2x 2x 2x 53

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 53 = 40704

Therefore, the value for common factors is 40704.

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 = 17280379772928/(2x40704)

LCM = 17280379772928/81408

LCM = 212268816

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 424,254,438,432,848 is 212268816.
