Given numbers are 942,487,373,974

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

The LCM of 942,487,373,974 is 171115242.

Find LCM of 942,487,373,974 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 487 x 471 x 1 x 373 x 1 = 171115242

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 942,487,373,974 is 171115242.

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 487 x 373 x 974 = 166666245708

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

487 : 1, 487

373 : 1, 373

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 942,487,373,974, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

942:2x 3x 157

487:487

373:373

974:2x 487

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 487 = 974

Therefore, the value for common factors is 974.

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 = 166666245708/(1x974)

LCM = 166666245708/974

LCM = 171115242

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 942,487,373,974 is 171115242.
