Given numbers are 542,746,718,452

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

The LCM of 542,746,718,452 is 16402536244.

Find LCM of 542,746,718,452 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 271 x 373 x 359 x 226 = 16402536244

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,746,718,452 is 16402536244.

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 746 x 718 x 452 = 131220289952

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

746 : 1, 2, 373, 746

718 : 1, 2, 359, 718

452 : 1, 2, 4, 113, 226, 452

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,746,718,452, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

746:2x 373

718:2x 359

452:2x 2x 113

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 131220289952/(2x4)

LCM = 131220289952/8

LCM = 16402536244

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,746,718,452 is 16402536244.
