Given numbers are 470,488,788,372,158

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

The LCM of 470,488,788,372,158 is 165983130120.

Find LCM of 470,488,788,372,158 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 235 x 122 x 197 x 93 x 79 = 165983130120

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 470,488,788,372,158 is 165983130120.

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.

470 x 488 x 788 x 372 x 158 = 10622920327680

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.

470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470

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

788 : 1, 2, 4, 197, 394, 788

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

158 : 1, 2, 79, 158

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 470,488,788,372,158, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

470:2x 5x 47

488:2x 2x 2x 61

788:2x 2x 197

372:2x 2x 3x 31

158:2x 79

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 2x 2 = 32

Therefore, the value for common factors is 32.

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 = 10622920327680/(2x32)

LCM = 10622920327680/64

LCM = 165983130120

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 470,488,788,372,158 is 165983130120.
