Given numbers are 879,878,404,742

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

The LCM of 879,878,404,742 is 57837387804.

Find LCM of 879,878,404,742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 879 x 439 x 202 x 371 = 57837387804

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 879,878,404,742 is 57837387804.

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.

879 x 878 x 404 x 742 = 231349551216

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.

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 879,878,404,742, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

879:3x 293

878:2x 439

404:2x 2x 101

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 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 = 231349551216/(1x4)

LCM = 231349551216/4

LCM = 57837387804

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 879,878,404,742 is 57837387804.
