Given numbers are 860,307,281,212,442

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

The LCM of 860,307,281,212,442 is 868983019060.

Find LCM of 860,307,281,212,442 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 215 x 307 x 281 x 53 x 221 = 868983019060

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 860,307,281,212,442 is 868983019060.

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.

860 x 307 x 281 x 212 x 442 = 6951864152480

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.

860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860

307 : 1, 307

281 : 1, 281

212 : 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212

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 860,307,281,212,442, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

860:2x 2x 5x 43

307:307

281:281

212:2x 2x 53

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 2x 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 6951864152480/(1x8)

LCM = 6951864152480/8

LCM = 868983019060

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 860,307,281,212,442 is 868983019060.
