Given numbers are 887,921,972,552,470

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

The LCM of 887,921,972,552,470 is 2861237801880.

Find LCM of 887,921,972,552,470 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 887 x 307 x 81 x 46 x 235 = 2861237801880

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 887,921,972,552,470 is 2861237801880.

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 921 x 972 x 552 x 470 = 206009121735360

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

921 : 1, 3, 307, 921

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

552 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552

470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 887,921,972,552,470, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

887:887

921:3x 307

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

552:2x 2x 2x 3x 23

470:2x 5x 47

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 3x 3 = 72

Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.

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 = 206009121735360/(1x72)

LCM = 206009121735360/72

LCM = 2861237801880

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 887,921,972,552,470 is 2861237801880.
