Given numbers are 118,920,778,538

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

The LCM of 118,920,778,538 is 5679913480.

Find LCM of 118,920,778,538 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 460 x 389 x 269 = 5679913480

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,920,778,538 is 5679913480.

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 920 x 778 x 538 = 45439307840

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

920 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 23, 40, 46, 92, 115, 184, 230, 460, 920

778 : 1, 2, 389, 778

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,920,778,538, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

118:2x 59

920:2x 2x 2x 5x 23

778:2x 389

538:2x 269

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 45439307840/(2x4)

LCM = 45439307840/8

LCM = 5679913480

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,920,778,538 is 5679913480.
