Given numbers are 163,738,158,158,278

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

The LCM of 163,738,158,158,278 is 1320948414.

Find LCM of 163,738,158,158,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 79 x 163 x 369 x 1 x 1 x 139 = 1320948414

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 163,738,158,158,278 is 1320948414.

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.

163 x 738 x 158 x 158 x 278 = 834839397648

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.

163 : 1, 163

738 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738

158 : 1, 2, 79, 158

158 : 1, 2, 79, 158

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 163,738,158,158,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

163:163

738:2x 3x 3x 41

158:2x 79

158:2x 79

278:2x 139

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 79 = 632

Therefore, the value for common factors is 632.

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 = 834839397648/(1x632)

LCM = 834839397648/632

LCM = 1320948414

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 163,738,158,158,278 is 1320948414.
