Given numbers are 500,788,346,341,642

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

The LCM of 500,788,346,341,642 is 1865270170500.

Find LCM of 500,788,346,341,642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 125 x 197 x 173 x 341 x 321 = 1865270170500

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 500,788,346,341,642 is 1865270170500.

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.

500 x 788 x 346 x 341 x 642 = 29844322728000

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.

500 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500

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

346 : 1, 2, 173, 346

341 : 1, 11, 31, 341

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 500,788,346,341,642, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

500:2x 2x 5x 5x 5

788:2x 2x 197

346:2x 173

341:11x 31

642:2x 3x 107

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 29844322728000/(1x16)

LCM = 29844322728000/16

LCM = 1865270170500

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 500,788,346,341,642 is 1865270170500.
