Given numbers are 259,786,872,161

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

The LCM of 259,786,872,161 is 2041440072.

Find LCM of 259,786,872,161 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 7 x 37 x 393 x 436 x 23 = 2041440072

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,786,872,161 is 2041440072.

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.

259 x 786 x 872 x 161 = 28580161008

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.

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

786 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

161 : 1, 7, 23, 161

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,786,872,161, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

786:2x 3x 131

872:2x 2x 2x 109

161:7x 23

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 7 = 14

Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.

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 = 28580161008/(1x14)

LCM = 28580161008/14

LCM = 2041440072

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,786,872,161 is 2041440072.
