Given numbers are 172,558,842,364,958

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

The LCM of 172,558,842,364,958 is 880626300372.

Find LCM of 172,558,842,364,958 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 43 x 279 x 421 x 91 x 479 = 880626300372

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 172,558,842,364,958 is 880626300372.

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.

172 x 558 x 842 x 364 x 958 = 28180041611904

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.

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

558 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 31, 62, 93, 186, 279, 558

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

364 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 182, 364

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 172,558,842,364,958, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

172:2x 2x 43

558:2x 3x 3x 31

842:2x 421

364:2x 2x 7x 13

958:2x 479

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 28180041611904/(2x16)

LCM = 28180041611904/32

LCM = 880626300372

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 172,558,842,364,958 is 880626300372.
