Given numbers are 872,156,118,351,646

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

The LCM of 872,156,118,351,646 is 5832814104.

Find LCM of 872,156,118,351,646 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 218 x 1 x 59 x 9 x 323 = 5832814104

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,156,118,351,646 is 5832814104.

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 156 x 118 x 351 x 646 = 3639676000896

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

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

351 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 27, 39, 117, 351

646 : 1, 2, 17, 19, 34, 38, 323, 646

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,156,118,351,646, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

872:2x 2x 2x 109

156:2x 2x 3x 13

118:2x 59

351:3x 3x 3x 13

646:2x 17x 19

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 2x 2x 3x 13 = 624

Therefore, the value for common factors is 624.

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 = 3639676000896/(1x624)

LCM = 3639676000896/624

LCM = 5832814104

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,156,118,351,646 is 5832814104.
