Given numbers are 492,236,239,862

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

The LCM of 492,236,239,862 is 2990145252.

Find LCM of 492,236,239,862 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 123 x 59 x 239 x 431 = 2990145252

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 492,236,239,862 is 2990145252.

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.

492 x 236 x 239 x 862 = 23921162016

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.

492 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

239 : 1, 239

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 492,236,239,862, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

492:2x 2x 3x 41

236:2x 2x 59

239:239

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 23921162016/(1x8)

LCM = 23921162016/8

LCM = 2990145252

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 492,236,239,862 is 2990145252.
