Given numbers are 558,344,120,596,178
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 558,344,120,596,178 is 6363688680.
Find LCM of 558,344,120,596,178 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 558, 344, 120, 596, 178 |
| 2 | 279, 172, 60, 298, 89 |
| 2 | 279, 86, 30, 149, 89 |
| 3 | 279, 43, 15, 149, 89 |
| 93, 43, 5, 149, 89 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 93 x 43 x 5 x 149 x 89 = 6363688680
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 558,344,120,596,178 is 6363688680.
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.
558 x 344 x 120 x 596 x 178 = 2443656453120
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.
558 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 31, 62, 93, 186, 279, 558
344 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, 344
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 558,344,120,596,178, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
558:2x 3x 3x 31
344:2x 2x 2x 43
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
596:2x 2x 149
178:2x 89
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 2x 2x 3 = 192
Therefore, the value for common factors is 192.
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 = 2443656453120/(2x192)
LCM = 2443656453120/384
LCM = 6363688680
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 558,344,120,596,178 is 6363688680.
