Given numbers are 158,884,450,598,242

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

The LCM of 158,884,450,598,242 is 43729557300.

Find LCM of 158,884,450,598,242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 13 x 79 x 34 x 225 x 23 x 121 = 43729557300

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 158,884,450,598,242 is 43729557300.

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 884 x 450 x 598 x 242 = 9095747918400

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

884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884

450 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 150, 225, 450

598 : 1, 2, 13, 23, 26, 46, 299, 598

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 158,884,450,598,242, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

158:2x 79

884:2x 2x 13x 17

450:2x 3x 3x 5x 5

598:2x 13x 23

242:2x 11x 11

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 13 = 104

Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.

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 = 9095747918400/(2x104)

LCM = 9095747918400/208

LCM = 43729557300

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 158,884,450,598,242 is 43729557300.
