Given numbers are 306,332,442,187,257

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

The LCM of 306,332,442,187,257 is 1866803796.

Find LCM of 306,332,442,187,257 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 17 x 9 x 166 x 13 x 11 x 257 = 1866803796

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 306,332,442,187,257 is 1866803796.

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.

306 x 332 x 442 x 187 x 257 = 2158025188176

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.

306 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 34, 51, 102, 153, 306

332 : 1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332

442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442

187 : 1, 11, 17, 187

257 : 1, 257

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 306,332,442,187,257, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

306:2x 3x 3x 17

332:2x 2x 83

442:2x 13x 17

187:11x 17

257:257

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 17x 17 = 1156

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1156.

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 = 2158025188176/(1x1156)

LCM = 2158025188176/1156

LCM = 1866803796

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 306,332,442,187,257 is 1866803796.
