Given numbers are 842,139,538,179

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

The LCM of 842,139,538,179 is 5635496738.

Find LCM of 842,139,538,179 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 421 x 139 x 269 x 179 = 5635496738

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,139,538,179 is 5635496738.

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.

842 x 139 x 538 x 179 = 11270993476

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.

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

139 : 1, 139

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

179 : 1, 179

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,139,538,179, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

842:2x 421

139:139

538:2x 269

179:179

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 = 11270993476/(1x2)

LCM = 11270993476/2

LCM = 5635496738

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,139,538,179 is 5635496738.
