Given numbers are 862,738,586,431,836

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

The LCM of 862,738,586,431,836 is 38956284972.

Find LCM of 862,738,586,431,836 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 1 x 369 x 293 x 1 x 418 = 38956284972

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,738,586,431,836 is 38956284972.

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 738 x 586 x 431 x 836 = 134321270583456

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

738 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738

586 : 1, 2, 293, 586

431 : 1, 431

836 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 418, 836

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 862,738,586,431,836, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

862:2x 431

738:2x 3x 3x 41

586:2x 293

431:431

836:2x 2x 11x 19

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 431 = 3448

Therefore, the value for common factors is 3448.

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 = 134321270583456/(1x3448)

LCM = 134321270583456/3448

LCM = 38956284972

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,738,586,431,836 is 38956284972.
