Given numbers are 968,685,292,854,342

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

The LCM of 968,685,292,854,342 is 3534376202280.

Find LCM of 968,685,292,854,342 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 242 x 685 x 73 x 427 x 171 = 3534376202280

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,685,292,854,342 is 3534376202280.

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 685 x 292 x 854 x 342 = 56550019236480

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

685 : 1, 5, 137, 685

292 : 1, 2, 4, 73, 146, 292

854 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 61, 122, 427, 854

342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,685,292,854,342, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

685:5x 137

292:2x 2x 73

854:2x 7x 61

342:2x 3x 3x 19

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 56550019236480/(1x16)

LCM = 56550019236480/16

LCM = 3534376202280

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,685,292,854,342 is 3534376202280.
