Given numbers are 862,743,431,688

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

The LCM of 862,743,431,688 is 220320304.

Find LCM of 862,743,431,688 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 1 x 743 x 1 x 344 = 220320304

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,743,431,688 is 220320304.

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 743 x 431 x 688 = 189916102048

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

743 : 1, 743

431 : 1, 431

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 862,743,431,688, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

862:2x 431

743:743

431:431

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

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

2x 431 = 862

Therefore, the value for common factors is 862.

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 = 189916102048/(1x862)

LCM = 189916102048/862

LCM = 220320304

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,743,431,688 is 220320304.
