Given numbers are 118,408,118,398

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

The LCM of 118,408,118,398 is 4790328.

Find LCM of 118,408,118,398 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 1 x 204 x 1 x 199 = 4790328

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,408,118,398 is 4790328.

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 408 x 118 x 398 = 2261034816

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

408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

398 : 1, 2, 199, 398

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,408,118,398, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

118:2x 59

408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17

118:2x 59

398:2x 199

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 59 = 236

Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.

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 = 2261034816/(2x236)

LCM = 2261034816/472

LCM = 4790328

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,408,118,398 is 4790328.
