Given numbers are 872,794,397,842

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

The LCM of 872,794,397,842 is 145743464.

Find LCM of 872,794,397,842 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 397 x 436 x 1 x 1 x 421 = 145743464

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,794,397,842 is 145743464.

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 794 x 397 x 842 = 231440620832

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

794 : 1, 2, 397, 794

397 : 1, 397

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,794,397,842, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

872:2x 2x 2x 109

794:2x 397

397:397

842:2x 421

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 397 = 1588

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1588.

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 = 231440620832/(1x1588)

LCM = 231440620832/1588

LCM = 145743464

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,794,397,842 is 145743464.
