Given numbers are 224,373,968,642

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

The LCM of 224,373,968,642 is 3245243232.

Find LCM of 224,373,968,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 28 x 373 x 121 x 321 = 3245243232

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 224,373,968,642 is 3245243232.

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.

224 x 373 x 968 x 642 = 51923891712

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.

224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224

373 : 1, 373

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 224,373,968,642, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7

373:373

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

642:2x 3x 107

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 51923891712/(1x16)

LCM = 51923891712/16

LCM = 3245243232

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 224,373,968,642 is 3245243232.
