Given numbers are 655,272,901,102,242

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

The LCM of 655,272,901,102,242 is 3427620240.

Find LCM of 655,272,901,102,242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 17 x 655 x 8 x 53 x 3 x 121 = 3427620240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 655,272,901,102,242 is 3427620240.

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.

655 x 272 x 901 x 102 x 242 = 3962328997440

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.

655 : 1, 5, 131, 655

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

901 : 1, 17, 53, 901

102 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 102

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 655,272,901,102,242, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

655:5x 131

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

901:17x 53

102:2x 3x 17

242:2x 11x 11

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 17x 17 = 1156

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1156.

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 = 3962328997440/(1x1156)

LCM = 3962328997440/1156

LCM = 3427620240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 655,272,901,102,242 is 3427620240.
