Given numbers are 118,778,972,542,658

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

The LCM of 118,778,972,542,658 is 1988992139148.

Find LCM of 118,778,972,542,658 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 389 x 486 x 271 x 329 = 1988992139148

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,778,972,542,658 is 1988992139148.

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 778 x 972 x 542 x 658 = 31823874226368

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

778 : 1, 2, 389, 778

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

658 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 47, 94, 329, 658

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,778,972,542,658, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

118:2x 59

778:2x 389

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

542:2x 271

658:2x 7x 47

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 = 31823874226368/(2x8)

LCM = 31823874226368/16

LCM = 1988992139148

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,778,972,542,658 is 1988992139148.
