Given numbers are 437,208,357,994,988

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

The LCM of 437,208,357,994,988 is 2303940912.

Find LCM of 437,208,357,994,988 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 7 x 13 x 19 x 23 x 4 x 51 x 71 x 1 = 2303940912

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 437,208,357,994,988 is 2303940912.

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.

437 x 208 x 357 x 994 x 988 = 31868110694784

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.

437 : 1, 19, 23, 437

208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208

357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357

994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 437,208,357,994,988, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

437:19x 23

208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13

357:3x 7x 17

994:2x 7x 71

988:2x 2x 13x 19

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 7x 13x 19 = 13832

Therefore, the value for common factors is 13832.

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 = 31868110694784/(1x13832)

LCM = 31868110694784/13832

LCM = 2303940912

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 437,208,357,994,988 is 2303940912.
