Given numbers are 838,146,596,642

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

The LCM of 838,146,596,642 is 5851782492.

Find LCM of 838,146,596,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 419 x 73 x 298 x 321 = 5851782492

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 838,146,596,642 is 5851782492.

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.

838 x 146 x 596 x 642 = 46814259936

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.

838 : 1, 2, 419, 838

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 838,146,596,642, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

838:2x 419

146:2x 73

596:2x 2x 149

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 = 46814259936/(2x4)

LCM = 46814259936/8

LCM = 5851782492

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 838,146,596,642 is 5851782492.
