Given numbers are 203,208,416,259

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

The LCM of 203,208,416,259 is 3124576.

Find LCM of 203,208,416,259 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 13 x 29 x 1 x 2 x 37 = 3124576

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 203,208,416,259 is 3124576.

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.

203 x 208 x 416 x 259 = 4549382656

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.

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208

416 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 203,208,416,259, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

203:7x 29

208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13

416:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 13

259:7x 37

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 7x 13 = 1456

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1456.

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 = 4549382656/(1x1456)

LCM = 4549382656/1456

LCM = 3124576

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 203,208,416,259 is 3124576.
