Given numbers are 842,178,678,712

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

The LCM of 842,178,678,712 is 101615928.

Find LCM of 842,178,678,712 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 89 x 421 x 1 x 339 x 4 = 101615928

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,178,678,712 is 101615928.

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 178 x 678 x 712 = 72350540736

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

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678

712 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 89, 178, 356, 712

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,178,678,712, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

842:2x 421

178:2x 89

678:2x 3x 113

712:2x 2x 2x 89

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 89 = 356

Therefore, the value for common factors is 356.

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 = 72350540736/(2x356)

LCM = 72350540736/712

LCM = 101615928

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,178,678,712 is 101615928.
