Given numbers are 885,545,192,872,972

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

The LCM of 885,545,192,872,972 is 500074560.

Find LCM of 885,545,192,872,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 109 x 59 x 1 x 8 x 1 x 81 = 500074560

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 885,545,192,872,972 is 500074560.

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.

885 x 545 x 192 x 872 x 972 = 78491702937600

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.

885 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 59, 177, 295, 885

545 : 1, 5, 109, 545

192 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 192

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 885,545,192,872,972, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

885:3x 5x 59

545:5x 109

192:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3

872:2x 2x 2x 109

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5x 109 = 156960

Therefore, the value for common factors is 156960.

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 = 78491702937600/(1x156960)

LCM = 78491702937600/156960

LCM = 500074560

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 885,545,192,872,972 is 500074560.
