Given numbers are 862,872,822,542

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

The LCM of 862,872,822,542 is 41860543992.

Find LCM of 862,872,822,542 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 436 x 411 x 271 = 41860543992

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,872,822,542 is 41860543992.

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 872 x 822 x 542 = 334884351936

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

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

822 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 137, 274, 411, 822

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 862,872,822,542, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

862:2x 431

872:2x 2x 2x 109

822:2x 3x 137

542:2x 271

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 334884351936/(2x4)

LCM = 334884351936/8

LCM = 41860543992

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,872,822,542 is 41860543992.
