Given numbers are 240,372,881,660,486

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

The LCM of 240,372,881,660,486 is 5840184240.

Find LCM of 240,372,881,660,486 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 31 x 881 x 11 x 81 = 5840184240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,372,881,660,486 is 5840184240.

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.

240 x 372 x 881 x 660 x 486 = 25229595916800

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.

240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

881 : 1, 881

660 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660

486 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,372,881,660,486, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

372:2x 2x 3x 31

881:881

660:2x 2x 3x 5x 11

486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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 2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5 = 4320

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4320.

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 = 25229595916800/(1x4320)

LCM = 25229595916800/4320

LCM = 5840184240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,372,881,660,486 is 5840184240.
