Given numbers are 404,638,242,714,957

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

The LCM of 404,638,242,714,957 is 506096052.

Find LCM of 404,638,242,714,957 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 11 x 29 x 202 x 1 x 11 x 119 x 1 = 506096052

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 404,638,242,714,957 is 506096052.

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.

404 x 638 x 242 x 714 x 957 = 42621385115232

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.

404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404

638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638

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

714 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 17, 21, 34, 42, 51, 102, 119, 238, 357, 714

957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 404,638,242,714,957, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

404:2x 2x 101

638:2x 11x 29

242:2x 11x 11

714:2x 3x 7x 17

957:3x 11x 29

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 2x 3x 11x 11x 29 = 84216

Therefore, the value for common factors is 84216.

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 = 42621385115232/(1x84216)

LCM = 42621385115232/84216

LCM = 506096052

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 404,638,242,714,957 is 506096052.
