Given numbers are 642,279,321,551

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

The LCM of 642,279,321,551 is 32898006.

Find LCM of 642,279,321,551 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 107 x 2 x 93 x 1 x 551 = 32898006

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,279,321,551 is 32898006.

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.

642 x 279 x 321 x 551 = 31680779778

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.

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279

321 : 1, 3, 107, 321

551 : 1, 19, 29, 551

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,279,321,551, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

642:2x 3x 107

279:3x 3x 31

321:3x 107

551:19x 29

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

3x 3x 107 = 963

Therefore, the value for common factors is 963.

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 = 31680779778/(1x963)

LCM = 31680779778/963

LCM = 32898006

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,279,321,551 is 32898006.
