Given numbers are 242,712,178,169

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

The LCM of 242,712,178,169 is 14559688.

Find LCM of 242,712,178,169 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 89 x 121 x 4 x 1 x 169 = 14559688

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,712,178,169 is 14559688.

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.

242 x 712 x 178 x 169 = 5183248928

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.

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

712 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 89, 178, 356, 712

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

169 : 1, 13, 169

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,712,178,169, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

242:2x 11x 11

712:2x 2x 2x 89

178:2x 89

169:13x 13

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 89 = 356

Therefore, the value for common factors is 356.

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 = 5183248928/(1x356)

LCM = 5183248928/356

LCM = 14559688

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,712,178,169 is 14559688.
