Given numbers are 732,472,357,272

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

The LCM of 732,472,357,272 is 20557488.

Find LCM of 732,472,357,272 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 61 x 59 x 7 x 2 = 20557488

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 732,472,357,272 is 20557488.

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.

732 x 472 x 357 x 272 = 33549820416

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.

732 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 61, 122, 183, 244, 366, 732

472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472

357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 732,472,357,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

732:2x 2x 3x 61

472:2x 2x 2x 59

357:3x 7x 17

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 3x 17 = 1632

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1632.

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 = 33549820416/(1x1632)

LCM = 33549820416/1632

LCM = 20557488

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 732,472,357,272 is 20557488.
