Given numbers are 257,586,482,612,480

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

The LCM of 257,586,482,612,480 is 444251803680.

Find LCM of 257,586,482,612,480 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 257 x 293 x 241 x 51 x 40 = 444251803680

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 257,586,482,612,480 is 444251803680.

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 586 x 482 x 612 x 480 = 21324086576640

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

586 : 1, 2, 293, 586

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

612 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612

480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 257,586,482,612,480, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

257:257

586:2x 293

482:2x 241

612:2x 2x 3x 3x 17

480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

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 3 = 48

Therefore, the value for common factors is 48.

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 = 21324086576640/(1x48)

LCM = 21324086576640/48

LCM = 444251803680

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 257,586,482,612,480 is 444251803680.
