Given numbers are 471,672,257,342

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

The LCM of 471,672,257,342 is 1545528096.

Find LCM of 471,672,257,342 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 157 x 112 x 257 x 57 = 1545528096

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 471,672,257,342 is 1545528096.

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.

471 x 672 x 257 x 342 = 27819505728

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.

471 : 1, 3, 157, 471

672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672

257 : 1, 257

342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 471,672,257,342, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

471:3x 157

672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7

257:257

342:2x 3x 3x 19

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

2x 3x 3 = 18

Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.

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 = 27819505728/(1x18)

LCM = 27819505728/18

LCM = 1545528096

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 471,672,257,342 is 1545528096.
