Given numbers are 257,566,875,703,972

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

The LCM of 257,566,875,703,972 is 43485973996500.

Find LCM of 257,566,875,703,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 257 x 283 x 875 x 703 x 486 = 43485973996500

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 257,566,875,703,972 is 43485973996500.

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 566 x 875 x 703 x 972 = 86971947993000

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

566 : 1, 2, 283, 566

875 : 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, 125, 175, 875

703 : 1, 19, 37, 703

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 257,566,875,703,972, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

257:257

566:2x 283

875:5x 5x 5x 7

703:19x 37

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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 = 86971947993000/(1x2)

LCM = 86971947993000/2

LCM = 43485973996500

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 257,566,875,703,972 is 43485973996500.
