Given numbers are 556,749,841,642,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 556,749,841,642,842 is 442339737252.
Find LCM of 556,749,841,642,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 556, 749, 841, 642, 842 |
| 107 | 278, 749, 841, 321, 421 |
| 278, 7, 841, 3, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 107 x 278 x 7 x 841 x 3 x 421 = 442339737252
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 556,749,841,642,842 is 442339737252.
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.
556 x 749 x 841 x 642 x 842 = 189321407543856
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.
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
749 : 1, 7, 107, 749
841 : 1, 29, 841
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 556,749,841,642,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
556:2x 2x 139
749:7x 107
841:29x 29
642:2x 3x 107
842:2x 421
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 107 = 428
Therefore, the value for common factors is 428.
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 = 189321407543856/(1x428)
LCM = 189321407543856/428
LCM = 442339737252
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 556,749,841,642,842 is 442339737252.
