Given numbers are 827,978,868

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

The LCM of 827,978,868 is 351021804.

Find LCM of 827,978,868 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 827 x 489 x 434 = 351021804

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 827,978,868 is 351021804.

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.

827 x 978 x 868 = 702043608

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.

827 : 1, 827

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

868 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 31, 62, 124, 217, 434, 868

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 827,978,868, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

827:827

978:2x 3x 163

868:2x 2x 7x 31

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 702043608/(1x2)

LCM = 702043608/2

LCM = 351021804

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 827,978,868 is 351021804.
