Given numbers are 862,338,431,492

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

The LCM of 862,338,431,492 is 35836788.

Find LCM of 862,338,431,492 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 1 x 169 x 1 x 246 = 35836788

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,338,431,492 is 35836788.

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 338 x 431 x 492 = 61782622512

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

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

431 : 1, 431

492 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 862,338,431,492, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

862:2x 431

338:2x 13x 13

431:431

492:2x 2x 3x 41

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 431 = 1724

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1724.

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 = 61782622512/(1x1724)

LCM = 61782622512/1724

LCM = 35836788

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,338,431,492 is 35836788.
