Given numbers are 260,686,159,424

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

The LCM of 260,686,159,424 is 28359240.

Find LCM of 260,686,159,424 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 53 x 65 x 343 x 3 x 2 = 28359240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 260,686,159,424 is 28359240.

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 686 x 159 x 424 = 12024317760

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

686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 260,686,159,424, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

260:2x 2x 5x 13

686:2x 7x 7x 7

159:3x 53

424:2x 2x 2x 53

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 53 = 424

Therefore, the value for common factors is 424.

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 = 12024317760/(1x424)

LCM = 12024317760/424

LCM = 28359240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 260,686,159,424 is 28359240.
