Given numbers are 157,844,284,636,424

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

The LCM of 157,844,284,636,424 is 2991765624.

Find LCM of 157,844,284,636,424 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 53 x 157 x 211 x 71 x 3 x 2 = 2991765624

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 157,844,284,636,424 is 2991765624.

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 844 x 284 x 636 x 424 = 10148068996608

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

844 : 1, 2, 4, 211, 422, 844

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

636 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 53, 106, 159, 212, 318, 636

424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 157,844,284,636,424, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

157:157

844:2x 2x 211

284:2x 2x 71

636:2x 2x 3x 53

424:2x 2x 2x 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 2x 53 = 3392

Therefore, the value for common factors is 3392.

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 = 10148068996608/(1x3392)

LCM = 10148068996608/3392

LCM = 2991765624

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 157,844,284,636,424 is 2991765624.
