Given numbers are 468,131,160,203

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

The LCM of 468,131,160,203 is 497820960.

Find LCM of 468,131,160,203 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 117 x 131 x 40 x 203 = 497820960

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 468,131,160,203 is 497820960.

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.

468 x 131 x 160 x 203 = 1991283840

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.

468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468

131 : 1, 131

160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 468,131,160,203, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13

131:131

160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5

203:7x 29

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 1991283840/(1x4)

LCM = 1991283840/4

LCM = 497820960

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 468,131,160,203 is 497820960.
