Given numbers are 240,345,304,994,163

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

The LCM of 240,345,304,994,163 is 8496433680.

Find LCM of 240,345,304,994,163 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 23 x 19 x 497 x 163 = 8496433680

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,345,304,994,163 is 8496433680.

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.

240 x 345 x 304 x 994 x 163 = 4078288166400

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.

240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240

345 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 23, 69, 115, 345

304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304

994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994

163 : 1, 163

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,345,304,994,163, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

345:3x 5x 23

304:2x 2x 2x 2x 19

994:2x 7x 71

163:163

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 2x 3x 5 = 480

Therefore, the value for common factors is 480.

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 = 4078288166400/(1x480)

LCM = 4078288166400/480

LCM = 8496433680

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,345,304,994,163 is 8496433680.
