Given numbers are 159,816,659,205,989

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

The LCM of 159,816,659,205,989 is 5778320085840.

Find LCM of 159,816,659,205,989 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 53 x 272 x 659 x 205 x 989 = 5778320085840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,816,659,205,989 is 5778320085840.

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.

159 x 816 x 659 x 205 x 989 = 17334960257520

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.

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

816 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 17, 24, 34, 48, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 272, 408, 816

659 : 1, 659

205 : 1, 5, 41, 205

989 : 1, 23, 43, 989

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,816,659,205,989, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

159:3x 53

816:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 17

659:659

205:5x 41

989:23x 43

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

3 = 3

Therefore, the value for common factors is 3.

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 = 17334960257520/(1x3)

LCM = 17334960257520/3

LCM = 5778320085840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,816,659,205,989 is 5778320085840.
