Given numbers are 968,856,600,742

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

The LCM of 968,856,600,742 is 2882002200.

Find LCM of 968,856,600,742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 121 x 107 x 75 x 371 = 2882002200

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,856,600,742 is 2882002200.

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 856 x 600 x 742 = 368896281600

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

856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856

600 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 120, 150, 200, 300, 600

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,856,600,742, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

856:2x 2x 2x 107

600:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 5

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 2x 2x 2 = 64

Therefore, the value for common factors is 64.

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 = 368896281600/(2x64)

LCM = 368896281600/128

LCM = 2882002200

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,856,600,742 is 2882002200.
