Given numbers are 242,740,973,481,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 242,740,973,481,842 is 476821004660.
Find LCM of 242,740,973,481,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 242, 740, 973, 481, 842 |
| 37 | 121, 370, 973, 481, 421 |
| 121, 10, 973, 13, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 37 x 121 x 10 x 973 x 13 x 421 = 476821004660
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,740,973,481,842 is 476821004660.
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 740 x 973 x 481 x 842 = 70569508689680
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
740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
481 : 1, 13, 37, 481
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,740,973,481,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
242:2x 11x 11
740:2x 2x 5x 37
973:7x 139
481:13x 37
842:2x 421
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 37 = 148
Therefore, the value for common factors is 148.
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 = 70569508689680/(1x148)
LCM = 70569508689680/148
LCM = 476821004660
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,740,973,481,842 is 476821004660.
