Given numbers are 852,118,118,461

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

The LCM of 852,118,118,461 is 23173548.

Find LCM of 852,118,118,461 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 426 x 1 x 1 x 461 = 23173548

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 852,118,118,461 is 23173548.

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.

852 x 118 x 118 x 461 = 5468957328

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.

852 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 71, 142, 213, 284, 426, 852

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

461 : 1, 461

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 852,118,118,461, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

852:2x 2x 3x 71

118:2x 59

118:2x 59

461:461

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 59 = 236

Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.

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 = 5468957328/(1x236)

LCM = 5468957328/236

LCM = 23173548

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 852,118,118,461 is 23173548.
