Given numbers are 742,236,491,142

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

The LCM of 742,236,491,142 is 3052289716.

Find LCM of 742,236,491,142 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 371 x 118 x 491 x 71 = 3052289716

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 742,236,491,142 is 3052289716.

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 236 x 491 x 142 = 12209158864

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

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

491 : 1, 491

142 : 1, 2, 71, 142

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 742,236,491,142, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

742:2x 7x 53

236:2x 2x 59

491:491

142:2x 71

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 = 12209158864/(1x4)

LCM = 12209158864/4

LCM = 3052289716

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 742,236,491,142 is 3052289716.
