Given numbers are 168,662,630,156,542

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

The LCM of 168,662,630,156,542 is 2938604760.

Find LCM of 168,662,630,156,542 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 331 x 15 x 13 x 271 = 2938604760

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 168,662,630,156,542 is 2938604760.

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.

168 x 662 x 630 x 156 x 542 = 5924227196160

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.

168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168

662 : 1, 2, 331, 662

630 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18, 21, 30, 35, 42, 45, 63, 70, 90, 105, 126, 210, 315, 630

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 168,662,630,156,542, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7

662:2x 331

630:2x 3x 3x 5x 7

156:2x 2x 3x 13

542:2x 271

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 3x 7 = 1008

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1008.

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 = 5924227196160/(2x1008)

LCM = 5924227196160/2016

LCM = 2938604760

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 168,662,630,156,542 is 2938604760.
