Given numbers are 240,958,702,942

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

The LCM of 240,958,702,942 is 2111700240.

Find LCM of 240,958,702,942 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 40 x 479 x 117 x 157 = 2111700240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,958,702,942 is 2111700240.

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 958 x 702 x 942 = 152042417280

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

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

702 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 27, 39, 54, 78, 117, 234, 351, 702

942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,958,702,942, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

958:2x 479

702:2x 3x 3x 3x 13

942:2x 3x 157

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 3x 3 = 36

Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.

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 = 152042417280/(2x36)

LCM = 152042417280/72

LCM = 2111700240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,958,702,942 is 2111700240.
