Given numbers are 157,498,451,314,556

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

The LCM of 157,498,451,314,556 is 9802804308.

Find LCM of 157,498,451,314,556 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 157 x 1 x 249 x 451 x 1 x 278 = 9802804308

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 157,498,451,314,556 is 9802804308.

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 498 x 451 x 314 x 556 = 6156161105424

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

498 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 83, 166, 249, 498

451 : 1, 11, 41, 451

314 : 1, 2, 157, 314

556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 157,498,451,314,556, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

157:157

498:2x 3x 83

451:11x 41

314:2x 157

556:2x 2x 139

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 157 = 628

Therefore, the value for common factors is 628.

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 = 6156161105424/(1x628)

LCM = 6156161105424/628

LCM = 9802804308

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 157,498,451,314,556 is 9802804308.
