Given numbers are 862,104,424,742

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

The LCM of 862,104,424,742 is 16629704.

Find LCM of 862,104,424,742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 53 x 431 x 13 x 1 x 7 = 16629704

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 862,104,424,742 is 16629704.

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.

862 x 104 x 424 x 742 = 28203977984

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.

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

104 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 104

424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424

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 862,104,424,742, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

862:2x 431

104:2x 2x 2x 13

424:2x 2x 2x 53

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 2x 53 = 848

Therefore, the value for common factors is 848.

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 = 28203977984/(2x848)

LCM = 28203977984/1696

LCM = 16629704

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 862,104,424,742 is 16629704.
