Given numbers are 727,261,464,518,842

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

The LCM of 727,261,464,518,842 is 331037170128.

Find LCM of 727,261,464,518,842 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 29 x 727 x 9 x 8 x 259 x 421 = 331037170128

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 727,261,464,518,842 is 331037170128.

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.

727 x 261 x 464 x 518 x 842 = 38400311734848

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.

727 : 1, 727

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

464 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 29, 58, 116, 232, 464

518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 727,261,464,518,842, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

727:727

261:3x 3x 29

464:2x 2x 2x 2x 29

518:2x 7x 37

842:2x 421

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 29 = 116

Therefore, the value for common factors is 116.

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 = 38400311734848/(1x116)

LCM = 38400311734848/116

LCM = 331037170128

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 727,261,464,518,842 is 331037170128.
