Given numbers are 968,242,968,921,374

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

The LCM of 968,242,968,921,374 is 15155976.

Find LCM of 968,242,968,921,374 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 11 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 921 x 17 = 15155976

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,242,968,921,374 is 15155976.

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.

968 x 242 x 968 x 921 x 374 = 78108322904832

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.

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

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

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

921 : 1, 3, 307, 921

374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,242,968,921,374, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

242:2x 11x 11

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

921:3x 307

374:2x 11x 17

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 2x 2x 11x 11x 11x 11x 11 = 5153632

Therefore, the value for common factors is 5153632.

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 = 78108322904832/(1x5153632)

LCM = 78108322904832/5153632

LCM = 15155976

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,242,968,921,374 is 15155976.
