Given numbers are 158,146,556,438

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

The LCM of 158,146,556,438 is 9619356.

Find LCM of 158,146,556,438 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 73 x 79 x 1 x 278 x 3 = 9619356

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 158,146,556,438 is 9619356.

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.

158 x 146 x 556 x 438 = 5617703904

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.

158 : 1, 2, 79, 158

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 158,146,556,438, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

158:2x 79

146:2x 73

556:2x 2x 139

438:2x 3x 73

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 73 = 292

Therefore, the value for common factors is 292.

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 = 5617703904/(2x292)

LCM = 5617703904/584

LCM = 9619356

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 158,146,556,438 is 9619356.
