Given numbers are 437,660,986

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

The LCM of 437,660,986 is 142191060.

Find LCM of 437,660,986 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 437 x 330 x 493 = 142191060

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 437,660,986 is 142191060.

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 660 x 986 = 284382120

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

660 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 437,660,986, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

437:19x 23

660:2x 2x 3x 5x 11

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.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 284382120/(1x2)

LCM = 284382120/2

LCM = 142191060

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 437,660,986 is 142191060.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 792, 795, 907
