Given numbers are 162,421,326,857

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

The LCM of 162,421,326,857 is 9527205582.

Find LCM of 162,421,326,857 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 81 x 421 x 163 x 857 = 9527205582

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 162,421,326,857 is 9527205582.

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.

162 x 421 x 326 x 857 = 19054411164

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.

162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162

421 : 1, 421

326 : 1, 2, 163, 326

857 : 1, 857

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 162,421,326,857, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3

421:421

326:2x 163

857:857

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 19054411164/(1x2)

LCM = 19054411164/2

LCM = 9527205582

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 162,421,326,857 is 9527205582.
