Given numbers are 138,986,491,338

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

The LCM of 138,986,491,338 is 5645393286.

Find LCM of 138,986,491,338 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 69 x 493 x 491 x 169 = 5645393286

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 138,986,491,338 is 5645393286.

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.

138 x 986 x 491 x 338 = 22581573144

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.

138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

491 : 1, 491

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 138,986,491,338, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

138:2x 3x 23

986:2x 17x 29

491:491

338:2x 13x 13

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 22581573144/(1x4)

LCM = 22581573144/4

LCM = 5645393286

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 138,986,491,338 is 5645393286.
