Given numbers are 538,734,261,942,958

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

The LCM of 538,734,261,942,958 is 3875466731418.

Find LCM of 538,734,261,942,958 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 269 x 367 x 87 x 157 x 479 = 3875466731418

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 538,734,261,942,958 is 3875466731418.

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.

538 x 734 x 261 x 942 x 958 = 93011201554032

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.

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

734 : 1, 2, 367, 734

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

942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 538,734,261,942,958, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

538:2x 269

734:2x 367

261:3x 3x 29

942:2x 3x 157

958:2x 479

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 93011201554032/(1x24)

LCM = 93011201554032/24

LCM = 3875466731418

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 538,734,261,942,958 is 3875466731418.
