Given numbers are 701,742,253,159

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

The LCM of 701,742,253,159 is 394787778.

Find LCM of 701,742,253,159 with Prime Factorization

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

53 x 701 x 14 x 253 x 3 = 394787778

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 701,742,253,159 is 394787778.

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.

701 x 742 x 253 x 159 = 20923752234

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.

701 : 1, 701

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

253 : 1, 11, 23, 253

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 701,742,253,159, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

701:701

742:2x 7x 53

253:11x 23

159:3x 53

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

53 = 53

Therefore, the value for common factors is 53.

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 = 20923752234/(1x53)

LCM = 20923752234/53

LCM = 394787778

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 701,742,253,159 is 394787778.
