Given numbers are 540,176,880,872

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

The LCM of 540,176,880,872 is 2589840.

Find LCM of 540,176,880,872 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 27 x 1 x 1 x 109 = 2589840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 540,176,880,872 is 2589840.

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.

540 x 176 x 880 x 872 = 72929894400

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.

540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540

176 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176

880 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 40, 44, 55, 80, 88, 110, 176, 220, 440, 880

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 540,176,880,872, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5

176:2x 2x 2x 2x 11

880:2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 11

872:2x 2x 2x 109

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 5x 11 = 7040

Therefore, the value for common factors is 7040.

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 = 72929894400/(4x7040)

LCM = 72929894400/28160

LCM = 2589840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 540,176,880,872 is 2589840.
