Given numbers are 742,179,255,956,336
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 742,179,255,956,336 is 64756744080.
Find LCM of 742,179,255,956,336 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 742, 179, 255, 956, 336 |
| 2 | 371, 179, 255, 478, 168 |
| 3 | 371, 179, 255, 239, 84 |
| 7 | 371, 179, 85, 239, 28 |
| 53, 179, 85, 239, 4 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 53 x 179 x 85 x 239 x 4 = 64756744080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 742,179,255,956,336 is 64756744080.
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.
742 x 179 x 255 x 956 x 336 = 10879133005440
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.
742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742
179 : 1, 179
255 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
336 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 56, 84, 112, 168, 336
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 742,179,255,956,336, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
742:2x 7x 53
179:179
255:3x 5x 17
956:2x 2x 239
336:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
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 3x 7 = 168
Therefore, the value for common factors is 168.
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 = 10879133005440/(1x168)
LCM = 10879133005440/168
LCM = 64756744080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 742,179,255,956,336 is 64756744080.
