Given numbers are 338,181,708,642,431

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

The LCM of 338,181,708,642,431 is 998756422404.

Find LCM of 338,181,708,642,431 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 169 x 181 x 118 x 107 x 431 = 998756422404

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 338,181,708,642,431 is 998756422404.

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.

338 x 181 x 708 x 642 x 431 = 11985077068848

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.

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

181 : 1, 181

708 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 59, 118, 177, 236, 354, 708

642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642

431 : 1, 431

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 338,181,708,642,431, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

338:2x 13x 13

181:181

708:2x 2x 3x 59

642:2x 3x 107

431:431

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 11985077068848/(1x12)

LCM = 11985077068848/12

LCM = 998756422404

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 338,181,708,642,431 is 998756422404.
