Given numbers are 159,978,994,849

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

The LCM of 159,978,994,849 is 7290503934.

Find LCM of 159,978,994,849 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 53 x 163 x 497 x 283 = 7290503934

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,978,994,849 is 7290503934.

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 978 x 994 x 849 = 131229070812

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

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994

849 : 1, 3, 283, 849

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,978,994,849, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

159:3x 53

978:2x 3x 163

994:2x 7x 71

849:3x 283

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

2x 3x 3 = 18

Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.

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 = 131229070812/(1x18)

LCM = 131229070812/18

LCM = 7290503934

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,978,994,849 is 7290503934.
