Given numbers are 852,103,157,86

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

The LCM of 852,103,157,86 is 592440756.

Find LCM of 852,103,157,86 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 426 x 103 x 157 x 43 = 592440756

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 852,103,157,86 is 592440756.

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.

852 x 103 x 157 x 86 = 1184881512

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.

852 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 71, 142, 213, 284, 426, 852

103 : 1, 103

157 : 1, 157

86 : 1, 2, 43, 86

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 852,103,157,86, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

852:2x 2x 3x 71

103:103

157:157

86:2x 43

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 = 1184881512/(1x2)

LCM = 1184881512/2

LCM = 592440756

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 852,103,157,86 is 592440756.
