Given numbers are 942,409,278,664

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

The LCM of 942,409,278,664 is 17779809144.

Find LCM of 942,409,278,664 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 471 x 409 x 139 x 332 = 17779809144

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 942,409,278,664 is 17779809144.

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.

942 x 409 x 278 x 664 = 71119236576

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.

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

409 : 1, 409

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

664 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 83, 166, 332, 664

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 942,409,278,664, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

942:2x 3x 157

409:409

278:2x 139

664:2x 2x 2x 83

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 = 71119236576/(1x4)

LCM = 71119236576/4

LCM = 17779809144

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 942,409,278,664 is 17779809144.
