Given numbers are 257,167,862,468

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

The LCM of 257,167,862,468 is 8657105652.

Find LCM of 257,167,862,468 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 257 x 167 x 431 x 234 = 8657105652

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 257,167,862,468 is 8657105652.

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.

257 x 167 x 862 x 468 = 17314211304

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.

257 : 1, 257

167 : 1, 167

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 257,167,862,468, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

257:257

167:167

862:2x 431

468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13

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 = 17314211304/(1x2)

LCM = 17314211304/2

LCM = 8657105652

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 257,167,862,468 is 8657105652.
