Given numbers are 142,131,966,436

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

The LCM of 142,131,966,436 is 1958678988.

Find LCM of 142,131,966,436 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 71 x 131 x 483 x 218 = 1958678988

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 142,131,966,436 is 1958678988.

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.

142 x 131 x 966 x 436 = 7834715952

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.

142 : 1, 2, 71, 142

131 : 1, 131

966 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 23, 42, 46, 69, 138, 161, 322, 483, 966

436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 142,131,966,436, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

142:2x 71

131:131

966:2x 3x 7x 23

436:2x 2x 109

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 7834715952/(1x4)

LCM = 7834715952/4

LCM = 1958678988

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 142,131,966,436 is 1958678988.
