The LCM of 862,731,476,896 is 282294656.
Find LCM of 862,731,476,896 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 862, 731, 476, 896 |
| 2 | 431, 731, 238, 448 |
| 7 | 431, 731, 119, 224 |
| 17 | 431, 731, 17, 32 |
| 431, 43, 1, 32 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 17 x 431 x 43 x 1 x 32 = 282294656
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,731,476,896 is 282294656.
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 731 x 476 x 896 = 268744512512
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
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
476 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 17, 28, 34, 68, 119, 238, 476
896 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 448, 896
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 862,731,476,896, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
862:2x 431
731:17x 43
476:2x 2x 7x 17
896:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
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 2x 7x 17 = 952
Therefore, the value for common factors is 952.
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 = 268744512512/(1x952)
LCM = 268744512512/952
LCM = 282294656
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,731,476,896 is 282294656.
