Given numbers are 157,646,742,674

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

The LCM of 157,646,742,674 is 12680488394.

Find LCM of 157,646,742,674 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 157 x 323 x 371 x 337 = 12680488394

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 157,646,742,674 is 12680488394.

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 646 x 742 x 674 = 50721953576

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

646 : 1, 2, 17, 19, 34, 38, 323, 646

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

674 : 1, 2, 337, 674

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 157,646,742,674, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

157:157

646:2x 17x 19

742:2x 7x 53

674:2x 337

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 50721953576/(1x4)

LCM = 50721953576/4

LCM = 12680488394

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 157,646,742,674 is 12680488394.
