Given numbers are 746,642,197,187

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

The LCM of 746,642,197,187 is 8821687974.

Find LCM of 746,642,197,187 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 373 x 321 x 197 x 187 = 8821687974

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 746,642,197,187 is 8821687974.

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.

746 x 642 x 197 x 187 = 17643375948

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.

746 : 1, 2, 373, 746

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

197 : 1, 197

187 : 1, 11, 17, 187

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 746,642,197,187, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

746:2x 373

642:2x 3x 107

197:197

187:11x 17

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 = 17643375948/(1x2)

LCM = 17643375948/2

LCM = 8821687974

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 746,642,197,187 is 8821687974.
