Given numbers are 542,373,474,979

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

The LCM of 542,373,474,979 is 46907161818.

Find LCM of 542,373,474,979 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 271 x 373 x 237 x 979 = 46907161818

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,373,474,979 is 46907161818.

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 373 x 474 x 979 = 93814323636

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

373 : 1, 373

474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,373,474,979, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

373:373

474:2x 3x 79

979:11x 89

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 = 93814323636/(1x2)

LCM = 93814323636/2

LCM = 46907161818

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,373,474,979 is 46907161818.
