Given numbers are 731,259,542,178

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

The LCM of 731,259,542,178 is 9132852302.

Find LCM of 731,259,542,178 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 731 x 259 x 271 x 89 = 9132852302

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 731,259,542,178 is 9132852302.

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.

731 x 259 x 542 x 178 = 18265704604

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.

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 731,259,542,178, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

731:17x 43

259:7x 37

542:2x 271

178:2x 89

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 18265704604/(1x2)

LCM = 18265704604/2

LCM = 9132852302

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 731,259,542,178 is 9132852302.
