Given numbers are 887,390,679,722,972

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

The LCM of 887,390,679,722,972 is 13736630538540.

Find LCM of 887,390,679,722,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 887 x 65 x 679 x 361 x 162 = 13736630538540

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 887,390,679,722,972 is 13736630538540.

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.

887 x 390 x 679 x 722 x 972 = 164839566462480

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.

887 : 1, 887

390 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 13, 15, 26, 30, 39, 65, 78, 130, 195, 390

679 : 1, 7, 97, 679

722 : 1, 2, 19, 38, 361, 722

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 887,390,679,722,972, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

887:887

390:2x 3x 5x 13

679:7x 97

722:2x 19x 19

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 164839566462480/(1x12)

LCM = 164839566462480/12

LCM = 13736630538540

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 887,390,679,722,972 is 13736630538540.
