Given numbers are 157,478,478,782

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

The LCM of 157,478,478,782 is 29342986.

Find LCM of 157,478,478,782 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 239 x 157 x 1 x 1 x 391 = 29342986

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 157,478,478,782 is 29342986.

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 478 x 478 x 782 = 28051894616

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

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

782 : 1, 2, 17, 23, 34, 46, 391, 782

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 157,478,478,782, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

157:157

478:2x 239

478:2x 239

782:2x 17x 23

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 239 = 956

Therefore, the value for common factors is 956.

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 = 28051894616/(1x956)

LCM = 28051894616/956

LCM = 29342986

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 157,478,478,782 is 29342986.
