Given numbers are 198,488,305,118

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

The LCM of 198,488,305,118 is 14252040.

Find LCM of 198,488,305,118 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 61 x 99 x 4 x 5 x 59 = 14252040

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 198,488,305,118 is 14252040.

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.

198 x 488 x 305 x 118 = 3477497760

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.

198 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, 198

488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488

305 : 1, 5, 61, 305

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 198,488,305,118, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

198:2x 3x 3x 11

488:2x 2x 2x 61

305:5x 61

118:2x 59

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 61 = 244

Therefore, the value for common factors is 244.

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 = 3477497760/(1x244)

LCM = 3477497760/244

LCM = 14252040

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 198,488,305,118 is 14252040.
