Given numbers are 872,238,471,655

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

The LCM of 872,238,471,655 is 32012946840.

Find LCM of 872,238,471,655 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 436 x 119 x 471 x 655 = 32012946840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,238,471,655 is 32012946840.

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 238 x 471 x 655 = 64025893680

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

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

471 : 1, 3, 157, 471

655 : 1, 5, 131, 655

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,238,471,655, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

872:2x 2x 2x 109

238:2x 7x 17

471:3x 157

655:5x 131

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 64025893680/(1x2)

LCM = 64025893680/2

LCM = 32012946840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,238,471,655 is 32012946840.
