Given numbers are 478,431,257,334

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

The LCM of 478,431,257,334 is 8842086542.

Find LCM of 478,431,257,334 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 239 x 431 x 257 x 167 = 8842086542

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 478,431,257,334 is 8842086542.

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.

478 x 431 x 257 x 334 = 17684173084

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.

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

431 : 1, 431

257 : 1, 257

334 : 1, 2, 167, 334

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 478,431,257,334, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

478:2x 239

431:431

257:257

334:2x 167

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 = 17684173084/(1x2)

LCM = 17684173084/2

LCM = 8842086542

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 478,431,257,334 is 8842086542.
