Given numbers are 704,958,408,252,242

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

The LCM of 704,958,408,252,242 is 3972741696.

Find LCM of 704,958,408,252,242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 8 x 479 x 17 x 21 x 11 = 3972741696

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 704,958,408,252,242 is 3972741696.

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.

704 x 958 x 408 x 252 x 242 = 16780860923904

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.

704 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 64, 88, 176, 352, 704

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408

252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 704,958,408,252,242, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

704:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 11

958:2x 479

408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17

252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 11 = 2112

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2112.

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 = 16780860923904/(2x2112)

LCM = 16780860923904/4224

LCM = 3972741696

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 704,958,408,252,242 is 3972741696.
