Given numbers are 260,157,965,615,487

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

The LCM of 260,157,965,615,487 is 471915652260.

Find LCM of 260,157,965,615,487 with Prime Factorization

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

5 x 52 x 157 x 193 x 123 x 487 = 471915652260

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 260,157,965,615,487 is 471915652260.

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.

260 x 157 x 965 x 615 x 487 = 11797891306500

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.

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

157 : 1, 157

965 : 1, 5, 193, 965

615 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 41, 123, 205, 615

487 : 1, 487

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 260,157,965,615,487, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

260:2x 2x 5x 13

157:157

965:5x 193

615:3x 5x 41

487:487

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

5x 5 = 25

Therefore, the value for common factors is 25.

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 = 11797891306500/(1x25)

LCM = 11797891306500/25

LCM = 471915652260

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 260,157,965,615,487 is 471915652260.
