Given numbers are 421,588,157,146

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

The LCM of 421,588,157,146 is 2837147628.

Find LCM of 421,588,157,146 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 421 x 294 x 157 x 73 = 2837147628

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 421,588,157,146 is 2837147628.

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.

421 x 588 x 157 x 146 = 5674295256

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.

421 : 1, 421

588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588

157 : 1, 157

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 421,588,157,146, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

421:421

588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7

157:157

146:2x 73

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 5674295256/(1x2)

LCM = 5674295256/2

LCM = 2837147628

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 421,588,157,146 is 2837147628.
