Given numbers are 856,478,186,897
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 856,478,186,897 is 5688867288.
Find LCM of 856,478,186,897 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 856, 478, 186, 897 |
| 3 | 428, 239, 93, 897 |
| 428, 239, 31, 299 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 428 x 239 x 31 x 299 = 5688867288
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 856,478,186,897 is 5688867288.
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.
856 x 478 x 186 x 897 = 68266407456
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.
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
478 : 1, 2, 239, 478
186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186
897 : 1, 3, 13, 23, 39, 69, 299, 897
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 856,478,186,897, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
856:2x 2x 2x 107
478:2x 239
186:2x 3x 31
897:3x 13x 23
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 68266407456/(1x12)
LCM = 68266407456/12
LCM = 5688867288
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 856,478,186,897 is 5688867288.
