Given numbers are 888,480,128,186,117

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

The LCM of 888,480,128,186,117 is 85887360.

Find LCM of 888,480,128,186,117 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 37 x 5 x 4 x 31 x 39 = 85887360

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 888,480,128,186,117 is 85887360.

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.

888 x 480 x 128 x 186 x 117 = 1187306864640

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.

888 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, 888

480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480

128 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186

117 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 888,480,128,186,117, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

888:2x 2x 2x 3x 37

480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

128:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2

186:2x 3x 31

117:3x 3x 13

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3 = 13824

Therefore, the value for common factors is 13824.

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 = 1187306864640/(1x13824)

LCM = 1187306864640/13824

LCM = 85887360

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 888,480,128,186,117 is 85887360.
