Given numbers are 872,142,950,118

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

The LCM of 872,142,950,118 is 1735083800.

Find LCM of 872,142,950,118 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 436 x 71 x 475 x 59 = 1735083800

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,142,950,118 is 1735083800.

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 950 x 118 = 13880670400

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

950 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,142,950,118, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

872:2x 2x 2x 109

142:2x 71

950:2x 5x 5x 19

118:2x 59

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 = 13880670400/(2x4)

LCM = 13880670400/8

LCM = 1735083800

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,142,950,118 is 1735083800.
