Given numbers are 158,718,786,977

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

The LCM of 158,718,786,977 is 21779035842.

Find LCM of 158,718,786,977 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 79 x 359 x 393 x 977 = 21779035842

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 158,718,786,977 is 21779035842.

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 718 x 786 x 977 = 87116143368

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

718 : 1, 2, 359, 718

786 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786

977 : 1, 977

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 158,718,786,977, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

158:2x 79

718:2x 359

786:2x 3x 131

977:977

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 = 87116143368/(1x4)

LCM = 87116143368/4

LCM = 21779035842

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 158,718,786,977 is 21779035842.
