Given numbers are 536,357,157,485,442

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

The LCM of 536,357,157,485,442 is 189416474520.

Find LCM of 536,357,157,485,442 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 17 x 268 x 21 x 157 x 485 x 13 = 189416474520

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 536,357,157,485,442 is 189416474520.

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.

536 x 357 x 157 x 485 x 442 = 6440160133680

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.

536 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 67, 134, 268, 536

357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357

157 : 1, 157

485 : 1, 5, 97, 485

442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 536,357,157,485,442, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

536:2x 2x 2x 67

357:3x 7x 17

157:157

485:5x 97

442:2x 13x 17

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

2x 17 = 34

Therefore, the value for common factors is 34.

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 = 6440160133680/(1x34)

LCM = 6440160133680/34

LCM = 189416474520

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 536,357,157,485,442 is 189416474520.
