Given numbers are 542,472,604,912,242

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

The LCM of 542,472,604,912,242 is 266427137328.

Find LCM of 542,472,604,912,242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 271 x 59 x 151 x 114 x 121 = 266427137328

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,472,604,912,242 is 266427137328.

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 472 x 604 x 912 x 242 = 34102673577984

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

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

604 : 1, 2, 4, 151, 302, 604

912 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 19, 24, 38, 48, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 304, 456, 912

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,472,604,912,242, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

472:2x 2x 2x 59

604:2x 2x 151

912:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 19

242:2x 11x 11

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 2x 2x 2 = 64

Therefore, the value for common factors is 64.

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 = 34102673577984/(2x64)

LCM = 34102673577984/128

LCM = 266427137328

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,472,604,912,242 is 266427137328.
