Given numbers are 972,879,862,571,520

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

The LCM of 972,879,862,571,520 is 9111515451480.

Find LCM of 972,879,862,571,520 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 81 x 293 x 431 x 571 x 130 = 9111515451480

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,879,862,571,520 is 9111515451480.

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 879 x 862 x 571 x 520 = 218676370835520

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

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

571 : 1, 571

520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,879,862,571,520, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

879:3x 293

862:2x 431

571:571

520:2x 2x 2x 5x 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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 218676370835520/(1x24)

LCM = 218676370835520/24

LCM = 9111515451480

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,879,862,571,520 is 9111515451480.
