Given numbers are 885,436,981,257

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

The LCM of 885,436,981,257 is 297498060.

Find LCM of 885,436,981,257 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 109 x 295 x 4 x 3 x 257 = 297498060

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 885,436,981,257 is 297498060.

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.

885 x 436 x 981 x 257 = 97281865620

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.

885 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 59, 177, 295, 885

436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436

981 : 1, 3, 9, 109, 327, 981

257 : 1, 257

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 885,436,981,257, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

885:3x 5x 59

436:2x 2x 109

981:3x 3x 109

257:257

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

3x 109 = 327

Therefore, the value for common factors is 327.

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 = 97281865620/(1x327)

LCM = 97281865620/327

LCM = 297498060

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 885,436,981,257 is 297498060.
