Given numbers are 936,855,242,942

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

The LCM of 936,855,242,942 is 1689213240.

Find LCM of 936,855,242,942 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 3 x 52 x 95 x 121 x 157 = 1689213240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 936,855,242,942 is 1689213240.

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.

936 x 855 x 242 x 942 = 182435029920

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.

936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936

855 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, 855

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 936,855,242,942, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13

855:3x 3x 5x 19

242:2x 11x 11

942:2x 3x 157

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 3x 3x 3 = 108

Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.

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 = 182435029920/(1x108)

LCM = 182435029920/108

LCM = 1689213240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 936,855,242,942 is 1689213240.
