Given numbers are 157,473,231,682

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

The LCM of 157,473,231,682 is 96687822.

Find LCM of 157,473,231,682 with Prime Factorization

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

11 x 157 x 43 x 21 x 62 = 96687822

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 157,473,231,682 is 96687822.

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.

157 x 473 x 231 x 682 = 11699226462

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.

157 : 1, 157

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231

682 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 31, 62, 341, 682

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 157,473,231,682, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

157:157

473:11x 43

231:3x 7x 11

682:2x 11x 31

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

11x 11 = 121

Therefore, the value for common factors is 121.

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 = 11699226462/(1x121)

LCM = 11699226462/121

LCM = 96687822

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 157,473,231,682 is 96687822.
