Given numbers are 863,431,786,962

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

The LCM of 863,431,786,962 is 140622782898.

Find LCM of 863,431,786,962 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 863 x 431 x 393 x 481 = 140622782898

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 863,431,786,962 is 140622782898.

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.

863 x 431 x 786 x 962 = 281245565796

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.

863 : 1, 863

431 : 1, 431

786 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 863,431,786,962, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

863:863

431:431

786:2x 3x 131

962:2x 13x 37

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 281245565796/(1x2)

LCM = 281245565796/2

LCM = 140622782898

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 863,431,786,962 is 140622782898.
