Given numbers are 148,498,659,987

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

The LCM of 148,498,659,987 is 7989918972.

Find LCM of 148,498,659,987 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 74 x 83 x 659 x 329 = 7989918972

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 148,498,659,987 is 7989918972.

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.

148 x 498 x 659 x 987 = 47939513832

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.

148 : 1, 2, 4, 37, 74, 148

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

659 : 1, 659

987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 148,498,659,987, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

148:2x 2x 37

498:2x 3x 83

659:659

987:3x 7x 47

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 47939513832/(1x6)

LCM = 47939513832/6

LCM = 7989918972

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 148,498,659,987 is 7989918972.
