Given numbers are 856,536,482,742

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

The LCM of 856,536,482,742 is 5127899672.

Find LCM of 856,536,482,742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 107 x 67 x 241 x 371 = 5127899672

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 856,536,482,742 is 5127899672.

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.

856 x 536 x 482 x 742 = 164092789504

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.

856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856

536 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 67, 134, 268, 536

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 856,536,482,742, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

856:2x 2x 2x 107

536:2x 2x 2x 67

482:2x 241

742:2x 7x 53

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 2x 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 164092789504/(2x16)

LCM = 164092789504/32

LCM = 5127899672

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 856,536,482,742 is 5127899672.
