Given numbers are 420,418,731,281

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

The LCM of 420,418,731,281 is 18030977580.

Find LCM of 420,418,731,281 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 210 x 209 x 731 x 281 = 18030977580

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,418,731,281 is 18030977580.

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.

420 x 418 x 731 x 281 = 36061955160

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.

420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420

418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

281 : 1, 281

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,418,731,281, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7

418:2x 11x 19

731:17x 43

281:281

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 36061955160/(1x2)

LCM = 36061955160/2

LCM = 18030977580

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,418,731,281 is 18030977580.
