Given numbers are 426,687,887,642

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

The LCM of 426,687,887,642 is 9258752586.

Find LCM of 426,687,887,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 71 x 229 x 887 x 107 = 9258752586

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 426,687,887,642 is 9258752586.

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 687 x 887 x 642 = 166657546548

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

687 : 1, 3, 229, 687

887 : 1, 887

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 426,687,887,642, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

426:2x 3x 71

687:3x 229

887:887

642:2x 3x 107

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

2x 3x 3 = 18

Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.

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 = 166657546548/(1x18)

LCM = 166657546548/18

LCM = 9258752586

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 426,687,887,642 is 9258752586.
