Given numbers are 426,188,694,942

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

The LCM of 426,188,694,942 is 2181557076.

Find LCM of 426,188,694,942 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 71 x 94 x 347 x 157 = 2181557076

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 426,188,694,942 is 2181557076.

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.

426 x 188 x 694 x 942 = 52357369824

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.

426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426

188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188

694 : 1, 2, 347, 694

942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 426,188,694,942, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

426:2x 3x 71

188:2x 2x 47

694:2x 347

942:2x 3x 157

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 52357369824/(2x12)

LCM = 52357369824/24

LCM = 2181557076

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 426,188,694,942 is 2181557076.
