Given numbers are 198,948,862,146

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

The LCM of 198,948,862,146 is 984288492.

Find LCM of 198,948,862,146 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 33 x 158 x 431 x 73 = 984288492

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 198,948,862,146 is 984288492.

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.

198 x 948 x 862 x 146 = 23622923808

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.

198 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, 198

948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 198,948,862,146, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

198:2x 3x 3x 11

948:2x 2x 3x 79

862:2x 431

146:2x 73

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 23622923808/(2x12)

LCM = 23622923808/24

LCM = 984288492

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 198,948,862,146 is 984288492.
