Given numbers are 118,252,194,287,994

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

The LCM of 118,252,194,287,994 is 4198232556.

Find LCM of 118,252,194,287,994 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 7 x 59 x 18 x 97 x 41 x 71 = 4198232556

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,252,194,287,994 is 4198232556.

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.

118 x 252 x 194 x 287 x 994 = 1645707161952

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.

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252

194 : 1, 2, 97, 194

287 : 1, 7, 41, 287

994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,252,194,287,994, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

118:2x 59

252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7

194:2x 97

287:7x 41

994:2x 7x 71

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 2x 7x 7 = 392

Therefore, the value for common factors is 392.

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 = 1645707161952/(1x392)

LCM = 1645707161952/392

LCM = 4198232556

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,252,194,287,994 is 4198232556.
