Given numbers are 72,36,78,82,816
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 72,36,78,82,816 is 1304784.
Find LCM of 72,36,78,82,816 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 72, 36, 78, 82, 816 |
| 2 | 36, 18, 39, 41, 408 |
| 2 | 9, 18, 39, 41, 204 |
| 3 | 9, 9, 39, 41, 102 |
| 3 | 3, 3, 13, 41, 34 |
| 1, 1, 13, 41, 34 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 13 x 41 x 34 = 1304784
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 72,36,78,82,816 is 1304784.
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.
72 x 36 x 78 x 82 x 816 = 13528000512
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.
72 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
36 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
78 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78
82 : 1, 2, 41, 82
816 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 17, 24, 34, 48, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 272, 408, 816
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 72,36,78,82,816, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
72:2x 2x 2x 3x 3
36:2x 2x 3x 3
78:2x 3x 13
82:2x 41
816:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3 = 5184
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5184.
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 = 13528000512/(2x5184)
LCM = 13528000512/10368
LCM = 1304784
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 72,36,78,82,816 is 1304784.
