Given numbers are 158,988,696,306,374

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

The LCM of 158,988,696,306,374 is 7618967928.

Find LCM of 158,988,696,306,374 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 79 x 247 x 58 x 3 x 11 = 7618967928

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 158,988,696,306,374 is 7618967928.

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 988 x 696 x 306 x 374 = 12434155658496

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

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

696 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696

306 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 34, 51, 102, 153, 306

374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 158,988,696,306,374, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

158:2x 79

988:2x 2x 13x 19

696:2x 2x 2x 3x 29

306:2x 3x 3x 17

374:2x 11x 17

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 2x 3x 17 = 816

Therefore, the value for common factors is 816.

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 = 12434155658496/(2x816)

LCM = 12434155658496/1632

LCM = 7618967928

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 158,988,696,306,374 is 7618967928.
