Given numbers are 851,437,972,931
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 851,437,972,931 is 770097132.
Find LCM of 851,437,972,931 with Prime Factorization
| 19 | 851, 437, 972, 931 |
| 23 | 851, 23, 972, 49 |
| 37, 1, 972, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
19 x 23 x 37 x 1 x 972 x 49 = 770097132
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 851,437,972,931 is 770097132.
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 437 x 972 x 931 = 336532446684
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
437 : 1, 19, 23, 437
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
931 : 1, 7, 19, 49, 133, 931
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 851,437,972,931, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
851:23x 37
437:19x 23
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
931:7x 7x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
19x 23 = 437
Therefore, the value for common factors is 437.
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 = 336532446684/(1x437)
LCM = 336532446684/437
LCM = 770097132
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 851,437,972,931 is 770097132.
