Given numbers are 642,587,470,422

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

The LCM of 642,587,470,422 is 18686305590.

Find LCM of 642,587,470,422 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 321 x 587 x 235 x 211 = 18686305590

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,587,470,422 is 18686305590.

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 587 x 470 x 422 = 74745222360

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

587 : 1, 587

470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,587,470,422, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

642:2x 3x 107

587:587

470:2x 5x 47

422:2x 211

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 = 74745222360/(1x4)

LCM = 74745222360/4

LCM = 18686305590

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,587,470,422 is 18686305590.
