Given numbers are 734,742,157,332

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

The LCM of 734,742,157,332 is 7097047468.

Find LCM of 734,742,157,332 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 367 x 371 x 157 x 166 = 7097047468

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 734,742,157,332 is 7097047468.

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.

734 x 742 x 157 x 332 = 28388189872

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.

734 : 1, 2, 367, 734

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

157 : 1, 157

332 : 1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 734,742,157,332, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

734:2x 367

742:2x 7x 53

157:157

332:2x 2x 83

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 28388189872/(1x4)

LCM = 28388189872/4

LCM = 7097047468

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 734,742,157,332 is 7097047468.
