Given numbers are 240,542,952,961

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

The LCM of 240,542,952,961 is 7437909360.

Find LCM of 240,542,952,961 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 30 x 271 x 119 x 961 = 7437909360

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,542,952,961 is 7437909360.

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 542 x 952 x 961 = 119006549760

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

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952

961 : 1, 31, 961

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,542,952,961, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

542:2x 271

952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17

961:31x 31

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 = 119006549760/(1x16)

LCM = 119006549760/16

LCM = 7437909360

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,542,952,961 is 7437909360.
