Given numbers are 872,556,581,342
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 872,556,581,342 is 12042136008.
Find LCM of 872,556,581,342 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 872, 556, 581, 342 |
| 2 | 436, 278, 581, 171 |
| 218, 139, 581, 171 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 218 x 139 x 581 x 171 = 12042136008
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,556,581,342 is 12042136008.
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 556 x 581 x 342 = 96337088064
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
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
581 : 1, 7, 83, 581
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,556,581,342, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
872:2x 2x 2x 109
556:2x 2x 139
581:7x 83
342:2x 3x 3x 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 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 = 96337088064/(1x8)
LCM = 96337088064/8
LCM = 12042136008
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,556,581,342 is 12042136008.
