Given numbers are 821,446,842,642

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

The LCM of 821,446,842,642 is 49484039406.

Find LCM of 821,446,842,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 821 x 223 x 421 x 321 = 49484039406

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 821,446,842,642 is 49484039406.

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.

821 x 446 x 842 x 642 = 197936157624

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.

821 : 1, 821

446 : 1, 2, 223, 446

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 821,446,842,642, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

821:821

446:2x 223

842:2x 421

642:2x 3x 107

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 = 197936157624/(1x4)

LCM = 197936157624/4

LCM = 49484039406

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 821,446,842,642 is 49484039406.
