Given numbers are 879,215,642,862

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

The LCM of 879,215,642,862 is 17430842490.

Find LCM of 879,215,642,862 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 293 x 215 x 107 x 431 = 17430842490

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 879,215,642,862 is 17430842490.

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.

879 x 215 x 642 x 862 = 104585054940

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.

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

215 : 1, 5, 43, 215

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 879,215,642,862, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

879:3x 293

215:5x 43

642:2x 3x 107

862:2x 431

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 104585054940/(1x6)

LCM = 104585054940/6

LCM = 17430842490

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 879,215,642,862 is 17430842490.
