Given numbers are 246,538,976,985

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

The LCM of 246,538,976,985 is 31808518320.

Find LCM of 246,538,976,985 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 123 x 269 x 488 x 985 = 31808518320

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 246,538,976,985 is 31808518320.

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.

246 x 538 x 976 x 985 = 127234073280

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.

246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

976 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 61, 122, 244, 488, 976

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 246,538,976,985, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

246:2x 3x 41

538:2x 269

976:2x 2x 2x 2x 61

985:5x 197

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 = 127234073280/(1x4)

LCM = 127234073280/4

LCM = 31808518320

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 246,538,976,985 is 31808518320.
