Given numbers are 282,146,743,842

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

The LCM of 282,146,743,842 is 6439362558.

Find LCM of 282,146,743,842 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 141 x 73 x 743 x 421 = 6439362558

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 282,146,743,842 is 6439362558.

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.

282 x 146 x 743 x 842 = 25757450232

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.

282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

743 : 1, 743

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 282,146,743,842, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

282:2x 3x 47

146:2x 73

743:743

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 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 = 25757450232/(1x4)

LCM = 25757450232/4

LCM = 6439362558

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 282,146,743,842 is 6439362558.
