Given numbers are 972,867,831,909,696

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

The LCM of 972,867,831,909,696 is 455819860728.

Find LCM of 972,867,831,909,696 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 27 x 289 x 277 x 101 x 58 = 455819860728

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,867,831,909,696 is 455819860728.

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 867 x 831 x 909 x 696 = 443056904627616

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

867 : 1, 3, 17, 51, 289, 867

831 : 1, 3, 277, 831

909 : 1, 3, 9, 101, 303, 909

696 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,867,831,909,696, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

867:3x 17x 17

831:3x 277

909:3x 3x 101

696:2x 2x 2x 3x 29

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 3x 3x 3x 3 = 324

Therefore, the value for common factors is 324.

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 = 443056904627616/(3x324)

LCM = 443056904627616/972

LCM = 455819860728

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,867,831,909,696 is 455819860728.
