Given numbers are 240,788,201,494

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

The LCM of 240,788,201,494 is 782436720.

Find LCM of 240,788,201,494 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 20 x 197 x 67 x 247 = 782436720

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,788,201,494 is 782436720.

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 788 x 201 x 494 = 18778481280

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

788 : 1, 2, 4, 197, 394, 788

201 : 1, 3, 67, 201

494 : 1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,788,201,494, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

788:2x 2x 197

201:3x 67

494:2x 13x 19

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 18778481280/(1x24)

LCM = 18778481280/24

LCM = 782436720

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,788,201,494 is 782436720.
