Given numbers are 161,115,642,281

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

The LCM of 161,115,642,281 is 145223610.

Find LCM of 161,115,642,281 with Prime Factorization

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

23 x 7 x 5 x 642 x 281 = 145223610

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 161,115,642,281 is 145223610.

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.

161 x 115 x 642 x 281 = 3340143030

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.

161 : 1, 7, 23, 161

115 : 1, 5, 23, 115

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

281 : 1, 281

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 161,115,642,281, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

161:7x 23

115:5x 23

642:2x 3x 107

281:281

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

23 = 23

Therefore, the value for common factors is 23.

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 = 3340143030/(1x23)

LCM = 3340143030/23

LCM = 145223610

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 161,115,642,281 is 145223610.
