Given numbers are 785,144,973,157
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 785,144,973,157 is 109987920.
Find LCM of 785,144,973,157 with Prime Factorization
| 157 | 785, 144, 973, 157 |
| 5, 144, 973, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
157 x 5 x 144 x 973 x 1 = 109987920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 785,144,973,157 is 109987920.
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.
785 x 144 x 973 x 157 = 17268103440
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.
785 : 1, 5, 157, 785
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
157 : 1, 157
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 785,144,973,157, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
785:5x 157
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
973:7x 139
157:157
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
157 = 157
Therefore, the value for common factors is 157.
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 = 17268103440/(1x157)
LCM = 17268103440/157
LCM = 109987920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 785,144,973,157 is 109987920.
