Given numbers are 298,590,668,115,261

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

The LCM of 298,590,668,115,261 is 176259725820.

Find LCM of 298,590,668,115,261 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 5 x 149 x 59 x 334 x 23 x 261 = 176259725820

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 298,590,668,115,261 is 176259725820.

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.

298 x 590 x 668 x 115 x 261 = 3525194516400

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.

298 : 1, 2, 149, 298

590 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 59, 118, 295, 590

668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668

115 : 1, 5, 23, 115

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 298,590,668,115,261, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

298:2x 149

590:2x 5x 59

668:2x 2x 167

115:5x 23

261:3x 3x 29

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 5 = 20

Therefore, the value for common factors is 20.

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 = 3525194516400/(1x20)

LCM = 3525194516400/20

LCM = 176259725820

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 298,590,668,115,261 is 176259725820.
