Given numbers are 968,562,720,740

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

The LCM of 968,562,720,740 is 905786640.

Find LCM of 968,562,720,740 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 121 x 281 x 18 x 37 = 905786640

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,562,720,740 is 905786640.

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 562 x 720 x 740 = 289851724800

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

562 : 1, 2, 281, 562

720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720

740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,562,720,740, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

562:2x 281

720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5

740:2x 2x 5x 37

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 5 = 160

Therefore, the value for common factors is 160.

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 = 289851724800/(2x160)

LCM = 289851724800/320

LCM = 905786640

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,562,720,740 is 905786640.
