Given numbers are 236,988,311,268,821

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

The LCM of 236,988,311,268,821 is 997211561684.

Find LCM of 236,988,311,268,821 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 59 x 247 x 311 x 67 x 821 = 997211561684

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 236,988,311,268,821 is 997211561684.

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.

236 x 988 x 311 x 268 x 821 = 15955384986944

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.

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

311 : 1, 311

268 : 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268

821 : 1, 821

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 236,988,311,268,821, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

236:2x 2x 59

988:2x 2x 13x 19

311:311

268:2x 2x 67

821:821

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 15955384986944/(1x16)

LCM = 15955384986944/16

LCM = 997211561684

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 236,988,311,268,821 is 997211561684.
