Given numbers are 665,842,424,742
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 665,842,424,742 is 118705160.
Find LCM of 665,842,424,742 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 665, 842, 424, 742 |
| 7 | 665, 421, 212, 371 |
| 53 | 95, 421, 212, 53 |
| 95, 421, 4, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 53 x 95 x 421 x 4 x 1 = 118705160
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 665,842,424,742 is 118705160.
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.
665 x 842 x 424 x 742 = 176158457440
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.
665 : 1, 5, 7, 19, 35, 95, 133, 665
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424
742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 665,842,424,742, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
665:5x 7x 19
842:2x 421
424:2x 2x 2x 53
742:2x 7x 53
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 7x 53 = 1484
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1484.
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 = 176158457440/(1x1484)
LCM = 176158457440/1484
LCM = 118705160
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 665,842,424,742 is 118705160.
