Given numbers are 421,491,974,286

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

The LCM of 421,491,974,286 is 28791121502.

Find LCM of 421,491,974,286 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 421 x 491 x 487 x 143 = 28791121502

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 421,491,974,286 is 28791121502.

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.

421 x 491 x 974 x 286 = 57582243004

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.

421 : 1, 421

491 : 1, 491

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 421,491,974,286, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

421:421

491:491

974:2x 487

286:2x 11x 13

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 = 57582243004/(1x2)

LCM = 57582243004/2

LCM = 28791121502

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 421,491,974,286 is 28791121502.
