Given numbers are 542,758,878,946

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

The LCM of 542,758,878,946 is 42654431446.

Find LCM of 542,758,878,946 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 271 x 379 x 439 x 473 = 42654431446

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,758,878,946 is 42654431446.

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 758 x 878 x 946 = 341235451568

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

758 : 1, 2, 379, 758

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,758,878,946, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

758:2x 379

878:2x 439

946:2x 11x 43

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 = 341235451568/(2x4)

LCM = 341235451568/8

LCM = 42654431446

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,758,878,946 is 42654431446.
