Given numbers are 472,940,514,373,642

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

The LCM of 472,940,514,373,642 is 3413161580520.

Find LCM of 472,940,514,373,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 118 x 235 x 257 x 373 x 321 = 3413161580520

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 472,940,514,373,642 is 3413161580520.

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.

472 x 940 x 514 x 373 x 642 = 54610585288320

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.

472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472

940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940

514 : 1, 2, 257, 514

373 : 1, 373

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 472,940,514,373,642, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

472:2x 2x 2x 59

940:2x 2x 5x 47

514:2x 257

373:373

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 2x 2x 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 54610585288320/(1x16)

LCM = 54610585288320/16

LCM = 3413161580520

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 472,940,514,373,642 is 3413161580520.
