Given numbers are 161,472,596,431

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

The LCM of 161,472,596,431 is 4880130248.

Find LCM of 161,472,596,431 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 161 x 118 x 149 x 431 = 4880130248

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 161,472,596,431 is 4880130248.

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 472 x 596 x 431 = 19520520992

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

472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472

596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596

431 : 1, 431

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 161,472,596,431, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

161:7x 23

472:2x 2x 2x 59

596:2x 2x 149

431:431

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 = 19520520992/(1x4)

LCM = 19520520992/4

LCM = 4880130248

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 161,472,596,431 is 4880130248.
