Given numbers are 872,854,429

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

The LCM of 872,854,429 is 159735576.

Find LCM of 872,854,429 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 436 x 427 x 429 = 159735576

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,854,429 is 159735576.

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 854 x 429 = 319471152

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

854 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 61, 122, 427, 854

429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,854,429, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

872:2x 2x 2x 109

854:2x 7x 61

429:3x 11x 13

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 = 319471152/(1x2)

LCM = 319471152/2

LCM = 159735576

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,854,429 is 159735576.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 761, 578, 938
