Given numbers are 872,142,378,524
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 872,142,378,524 is 1532879208.
Find LCM of 872,142,378,524 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 872, 142, 378, 524 |
| 2 | 436, 71, 189, 262 |
| 218, 71, 189, 131 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 218 x 71 x 189 x 131 = 1532879208
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,142,378,524 is 1532879208.
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.
872 x 142 x 378 x 524 = 24526067328
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.
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
142 : 1, 2, 71, 142
378 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378
524 : 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,142,378,524, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
872:2x 2x 2x 109
142:2x 71
378:2x 3x 3x 3x 7
524:2x 2x 131
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 24526067328/(2x8)
LCM = 24526067328/16
LCM = 1532879208
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,142,378,524 is 1532879208.
