Given numbers are 204,848,814,537,157

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

The LCM of 204,848,814,537,157 is 494667207408.

Find LCM of 204,848,814,537,157 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 212 x 407 x 179 x 157 = 494667207408

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 204,848,814,537,157 is 494667207408.

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.

204 x 848 x 814 x 537 x 157 = 11872012977792

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.

204 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204

848 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848

814 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 37, 74, 407, 814

537 : 1, 3, 179, 537

157 : 1, 157

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 204,848,814,537,157, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

204:2x 2x 3x 17

848:2x 2x 2x 2x 53

814:2x 11x 37

537:3x 179

157:157

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 11872012977792/(1x24)

LCM = 11872012977792/24

LCM = 494667207408

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 204,848,814,537,157 is 494667207408.
