Given numbers are 126,242,165,708,988

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

The LCM of 126,242,165,708,988 is 2221799580.

Find LCM of 126,242,165,708,988 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 21 x 11 x 5 x 59 x 247 = 2221799580

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 126,242,165,708,988 is 2221799580.

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.

126 x 242 x 165 x 708 x 988 = 3519330534720

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.

126 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 126

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

165 : 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 33, 55, 165

708 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 59, 118, 177, 236, 354, 708

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 126,242,165,708,988, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

126:2x 3x 3x 7

242:2x 11x 11

165:3x 5x 11

708:2x 2x 3x 59

988:2x 2x 13x 19

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 2x 3x 3x 11 = 1584

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1584.

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 = 3519330534720/(1x1584)

LCM = 3519330534720/1584

LCM = 2221799580

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 126,242,165,708,988 is 2221799580.
