Given numbers are 118,520,985,298,974

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

The LCM of 118,520,985,298,974 is 438567869480.

Find LCM of 118,520,985,298,974 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 5 x 59 x 52 x 197 x 149 x 487 = 438567869480

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,520,985,298,974 is 438567869480.

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 520 x 985 x 298 x 974 = 17542714779200

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

520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

298 : 1, 2, 149, 298

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,520,985,298,974, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

118:2x 59

520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13

985:5x 197

298:2x 149

974:2x 487

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 5 = 40

Therefore, the value for common factors is 40.

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 = 17542714779200/(1x40)

LCM = 17542714779200/40

LCM = 438567869480

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,520,985,298,974 is 438567869480.
