Given numbers are 166,196,318,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 166,196,318,986 is 1275199716.
Find LCM of 166,196,318,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 166, 196, 318, 986 |
| 83, 98, 159, 493 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 83 x 98 x 159 x 493 = 1275199716
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 166,196,318,986 is 1275199716.
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.
166 x 196 x 318 x 986 = 10201597728
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.
166 : 1, 2, 83, 166
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
318 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 53, 106, 159, 318
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 166,196,318,986, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
166:2x 83
196:2x 2x 7x 7
318:2x 3x 53
986:2x 17x 29
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 = 10201597728/(2x4)
LCM = 10201597728/8
LCM = 1275199716
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 166,196,318,986 is 1275199716.
