Given numbers are 851,431,887,862,787

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

The LCM of 851,431,887,862,787 is 512076891778.

Find LCM of 851,431,887,862,787 with Prime Factorization

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

431 x 851 x 1 x 887 x 2 x 787 = 512076891778

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 851,431,887,862,787 is 512076891778.

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.

851 x 431 x 887 x 862 x 787 = 220705140356318

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.

851 : 1, 23, 37, 851

431 : 1, 431

887 : 1, 887

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

787 : 1, 787

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 851,431,887,862,787, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

851:23x 37

431:431

887:887

862:2x 431

787:787

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

431 = 431

Therefore, the value for common factors is 431.

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 = 220705140356318/(1x431)

LCM = 220705140356318/431

LCM = 512076891778

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 851,431,887,862,787 is 512076891778.
