Given numbers are 742,636,958,556
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 742,636,958,556 is 296418612.
Find LCM of 742,636,958,556 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 742, 636, 958, 556 |
| 2 | 371, 318, 479, 278 |
| 53 | 371, 159, 479, 139 |
| 7, 3, 479, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 53 x 7 x 3 x 479 x 139 = 296418612
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 742,636,958,556 is 296418612.
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 636 x 958 x 556 = 251362982976
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
636 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 53, 106, 159, 212, 318, 636
958 : 1, 2, 479, 958
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 742,636,958,556, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
742:2x 7x 53
636:2x 2x 3x 53
958:2x 479
556:2x 2x 139
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 53 = 424
Therefore, the value for common factors is 424.
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 = 251362982976/(2x424)
LCM = 251362982976/848
LCM = 296418612
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 742,636,958,556 is 296418612.
