Given numbers are 972,740,726,691,272

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

The LCM of 972,740,726,691,272 is 1022375241360.

Find LCM of 972,740,726,691,272 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 81 x 185 x 121 x 691 x 68 = 1022375241360

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,740,726,691,272 is 1022375241360.

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.

972 x 740 x 726 x 691 x 272 = 98148023170560

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.

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

740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740

726 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 121, 242, 363, 726

691 : 1, 691

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,740,726,691,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

740:2x 2x 5x 37

726:2x 3x 11x 11

691:691

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

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 3 = 96

Therefore, the value for common factors is 96.

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 = 98148023170560/(1x96)

LCM = 98148023170560/96

LCM = 1022375241360

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,740,726,691,272 is 1022375241360.
