Given numbers are 362,332,974,427

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

The LCM of 362,332,974,427 is 12496071308.

Find LCM of 362,332,974,427 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 181 x 166 x 487 x 427 = 12496071308

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 362,332,974,427 is 12496071308.

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.

362 x 332 x 974 x 427 = 49984285232

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.

362 : 1, 2, 181, 362

332 : 1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

427 : 1, 7, 61, 427

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 362,332,974,427, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

362:2x 181

332:2x 2x 83

974:2x 487

427:7x 61

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 = 49984285232/(1x4)

LCM = 49984285232/4

LCM = 12496071308

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 362,332,974,427 is 12496071308.
