Given numbers are 542,267,939,978

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

The LCM of 542,267,939,978 is 7383163566.

Find LCM of 542,267,939,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 271 x 89 x 313 x 163 = 7383163566

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,267,939,978 is 7383163566.

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.

542 x 267 x 939 x 978 = 132896944188

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.

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

267 : 1, 3, 89, 267

939 : 1, 3, 313, 939

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,267,939,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

267:3x 89

939:3x 313

978:2x 3x 163

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 = 132896944188/(1x18)

LCM = 132896944188/18

LCM = 7383163566

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,267,939,978 is 7383163566.
