Given numbers are 852,279,538,987

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

The LCM of 852,279,538,987 is 7012465236.

Find LCM of 852,279,538,987 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 142 x 93 x 269 x 329 = 7012465236

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 852,279,538,987 is 7012465236.

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 279 x 538 x 987 = 126224374248

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

279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 852,279,538,987, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

852:2x 2x 3x 71

279:3x 3x 31

538:2x 269

987:3x 7x 47

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

2x 3x 3 = 18

Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.

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 = 126224374248/(1x18)

LCM = 126224374248/18

LCM = 7012465236

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 852,279,538,987 is 7012465236.
