Given numbers are 498,372,621,346,168

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

The LCM of 498,372,621,346,168 is 15479806104.

Find LCM of 498,372,621,346,168 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 83 x 31 x 207 x 173 x 14 = 15479806104

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 498,372,621,346,168 is 15479806104.

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.

498 x 372 x 621 x 346 x 168 = 6687276236928

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.

498 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 83, 166, 249, 498

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

621 : 1, 3, 9, 23, 27, 69, 207, 621

346 : 1, 2, 173, 346

168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 498,372,621,346,168, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

498:2x 3x 83

372:2x 2x 3x 31

621:3x 3x 3x 23

346:2x 173

168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7

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 3x 3x 3 = 432

Therefore, the value for common factors is 432.

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 = 6687276236928/(1x432)

LCM = 6687276236928/432

LCM = 15479806104

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 498,372,621,346,168 is 15479806104.
