Given numbers are 424,431,942,157

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

The LCM of 424,431,942,157 is 86072424.

Find LCM of 424,431,942,157 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 157 x 212 x 431 x 3 x 1 = 86072424

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 424,431,942,157 is 86072424.

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.

424 x 431 x 942 x 157 = 27026741136

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.

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

431 : 1, 431

942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942

157 : 1, 157

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 424,431,942,157, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

424:2x 2x 2x 53

431:431

942:2x 3x 157

157:157

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

2x 157 = 314

Therefore, the value for common factors is 314.

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 = 27026741136/(1x314)

LCM = 27026741136/314

LCM = 86072424

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 424,431,942,157 is 86072424.
