Given numbers are 862,331,121,842

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

The LCM of 862,331,121,842 is 14534588002.

Find LCM of 862,331,121,842 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 331 x 121 x 421 = 14534588002

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,331,121,842 is 14534588002.

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.

862 x 331 x 121 x 842 = 29069176004

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.

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

331 : 1, 331

121 : 1, 11, 121

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 862,331,121,842, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

862:2x 431

331:331

121:11x 11

842:2x 421

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 29069176004/(1x2)

LCM = 29069176004/2

LCM = 14534588002

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,331,121,842 is 14534588002.
