Given numbers are 488,944,128,257

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

The LCM of 488,944,128,257 is 118392704.

Find LCM of 488,944,128,257 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 61 x 59 x 8 x 257 = 118392704

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 488,944,128,257 is 118392704.

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.

488 x 944 x 128 x 257 = 15154266112

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.

488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488

944 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944

128 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

257 : 1, 257

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 488,944,128,257, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

488:2x 2x 2x 61

944:2x 2x 2x 2x 59

128:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2

257:257

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

2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2 = 128

Therefore, the value for common factors is 128.

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 = 15154266112/(1x128)

LCM = 15154266112/128

LCM = 118392704

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 488,944,128,257 is 118392704.
