Given numbers are 654,742,872

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

The LCM of 654,742,872 is 970536.

Find LCM of 654,742,872 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 109 x 3 x 371 x 4 = 970536

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 654,742,872 is 970536.

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.

654 x 742 x 872 = 423153696

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.

654 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 109, 218, 327, 654

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 654,742,872, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

654:2x 3x 109

742:2x 7x 53

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 109 = 218

Therefore, the value for common factors is 218.

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 = 423153696/(2x218)

LCM = 423153696/436

LCM = 970536

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 654,742,872 is 970536.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 716, 450, 376
