Given numbers are 158,422,916,687

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

The LCM of 158,422,916,687 is 45806412.

Find LCM of 158,422,916,687 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 229 x 79 x 211 x 2 x 3 = 45806412

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 158,422,916,687 is 45806412.

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 422 x 916 x 687 = 41958673392

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

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

916 : 1, 2, 4, 229, 458, 916

687 : 1, 3, 229, 687

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 158,422,916,687, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

158:2x 79

422:2x 211

916:2x 2x 229

687:3x 229

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 229 = 916

Therefore, the value for common factors is 916.

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 = 41958673392/(1x916)

LCM = 41958673392/916

LCM = 45806412

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 158,422,916,687 is 45806412.
