Given numbers are 268,242,238,746

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

The LCM of 268,242,238,746 is 1439381636.

Find LCM of 268,242,238,746 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 134 x 121 x 119 x 373 = 1439381636

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 268,242,238,746 is 1439381636.

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.

268 x 242 x 238 x 746 = 11515053088

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.

268 : 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268

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

238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238

746 : 1, 2, 373, 746

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 268,242,238,746, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

268:2x 2x 67

242:2x 11x 11

238:2x 7x 17

746:2x 373

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 11515053088/(2x4)

LCM = 11515053088/8

LCM = 1439381636

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 268,242,238,746 is 1439381636.
