Given numbers are 158,971,842,818,473

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

The LCM of 158,971,842,818,473 is 12495189916946.

Find LCM of 158,971,842,818,473 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 79 x 971 x 421 x 409 x 473 = 12495189916946

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 158,971,842,818,473 is 12495189916946.

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 971 x 842 x 818 x 473 = 49980759667784

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

971 : 1, 971

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

818 : 1, 2, 409, 818

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 158,971,842,818,473, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

158:2x 79

971:971

842:2x 421

818:2x 409

473:11x 43

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 = 49980759667784/(1x4)

LCM = 49980759667784/4

LCM = 12495189916946

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 158,971,842,818,473 is 12495189916946.
