Given numbers are 842,827,844,502

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

The LCM of 842,827,844,502 is 73757089948.

Find LCM of 842,827,844,502 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 421 x 827 x 422 x 251 = 73757089948

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,827,844,502 is 73757089948.

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 827 x 844 x 502 = 295028359792

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

827 : 1, 827

844 : 1, 2, 4, 211, 422, 844

502 : 1, 2, 251, 502

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,827,844,502, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

842:2x 421

827:827

844:2x 2x 211

502:2x 251

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 = 295028359792/(1x4)

LCM = 295028359792/4

LCM = 73757089948

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,827,844,502 is 73757089948.
