Given numbers are 940,707,398,248,242

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

The LCM of 940,707,398,248,242 is 992150152840.

Find LCM of 940,707,398,248,242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 235 x 707 x 199 x 62 x 121 = 992150152840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 940,707,398,248,242 is 992150152840.

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.

940 x 707 x 398 x 248 x 242 = 15874402445440

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.

940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940

707 : 1, 7, 101, 707

398 : 1, 2, 199, 398

248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 940,707,398,248,242, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

940:2x 2x 5x 47

707:7x 101

398:2x 199

248:2x 2x 2x 31

242:2x 11x 11

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 = 15874402445440/(1x16)

LCM = 15874402445440/16

LCM = 992150152840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 940,707,398,248,242 is 992150152840.
