Given numbers are 865,603,868,872

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

The LCM of 865,603,868,872 is 98698292280.

Find LCM of 865,603,868,872 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 865 x 603 x 217 x 218 = 98698292280

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 865,603,868,872 is 98698292280.

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.

865 x 603 x 868 x 872 = 394793169120

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.

865 : 1, 5, 173, 865

603 : 1, 3, 9, 67, 201, 603

868 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 31, 62, 124, 217, 434, 868

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 865,603,868,872, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

865:5x 173

603:3x 3x 67

868:2x 2x 7x 31

872:2x 2x 2x 109

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 = 394793169120/(1x4)

LCM = 394793169120/4

LCM = 98698292280

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 865,603,868,872 is 98698292280.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.
