Given numbers are 868,889,238,421

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

The LCM of 868,889,238,421 is 788959052.

Find LCM of 868,889,238,421 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 7 x 62 x 127 x 17 x 421 = 788959052

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 868,889,238,421 is 788959052.

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.

868 x 889 x 238 x 421 = 77317987096

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.

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

889 : 1, 7, 127, 889

238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238

421 : 1, 421

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 868,889,238,421, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

868:2x 2x 7x 31

889:7x 127

238:2x 7x 17

421:421

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

2x 7x 7 = 98

Therefore, the value for common factors is 98.

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 = 77317987096/(1x98)

LCM = 77317987096/98

LCM = 788959052

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 868,889,238,421 is 788959052.
