Given numbers are 188,361,742,682,884

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

The LCM of 188,361,742,682,884 is 1897516729108.

Find LCM of 188,361,742,682,884 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 47 x 361 x 371 x 341 x 221 = 1897516729108

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,361,742,682,884 is 1897516729108.

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.

188 x 361 x 742 x 682 x 884 = 30360267665728

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.

188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188

361 : 1, 19, 361

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

682 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 31, 62, 341, 682

884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,361,742,682,884, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

188:2x 2x 47

361:19x 19

742:2x 7x 53

682:2x 11x 31

884:2x 2x 13x 17

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 = 30360267665728/(1x16)

LCM = 30360267665728/16

LCM = 1897516729108

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,361,742,682,884 is 1897516729108.
