Given numbers are 952,357,228,985,742

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

The LCM of 952,357,228,985,742 is 2832852120.

Find LCM of 952,357,228,985,742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 17 x 2 x 1 x 19 x 985 x 53 = 2832852120

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 952,357,228,985,742 is 2832852120.

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.

952 x 357 x 228 x 985 x 742 = 56634379583040

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.

952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952

357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357

228 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 57, 76, 114, 228

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

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 952,357,228,985,742, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17

357:3x 7x 17

228:2x 2x 3x 19

985:5x 197

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 2x 2x 3x 7x 7x 17 = 19992

Therefore, the value for common factors is 19992.

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 = 56634379583040/(1x19992)

LCM = 56634379583040/19992

LCM = 2832852120

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 952,357,228,985,742 is 2832852120.
