Given numbers are 842,538,542,708

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

The LCM of 842,538,542,708 is 21728859132.

Find LCM of 842,538,542,708 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 421 x 269 x 271 x 354 = 21728859132

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,538,542,708 is 21728859132.

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 538 x 542 x 708 = 173830873056

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

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

708 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 59, 118, 177, 236, 354, 708

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,538,542,708, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

842:2x 421

538:2x 269

542:2x 271

708:2x 2x 3x 59

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 = 173830873056/(2x4)

LCM = 173830873056/8

LCM = 21728859132

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,538,542,708 is 21728859132.
