Given numbers are 226,908,917,338,642

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

The LCM of 226,908,917,338,642 is 5104172751132.

Find LCM of 226,908,917,338,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 113 x 454 x 917 x 169 x 321 = 5104172751132

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 226,908,917,338,642 is 5104172751132.

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.

226 x 908 x 917 x 338 x 642 = 40833382009056

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.

226 : 1, 2, 113, 226

908 : 1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908

917 : 1, 7, 131, 917

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

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 226,908,917,338,642, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

226:2x 113

908:2x 2x 227

917:7x 131

338:2x 13x 13

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 40833382009056/(1x8)

LCM = 40833382009056/8

LCM = 5104172751132

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 226,908,917,338,642 is 5104172751132.
