Given numbers are 438,103,412,985

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

The LCM of 438,103,412,985 is 88874580.

Find LCM of 438,103,412,985 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 103 x 219 x 1 x 2 x 985 = 88874580

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 438,103,412,985 is 88874580.

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.

438 x 103 x 412 x 985 = 18308163480

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.

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

103 : 1, 103

412 : 1, 2, 4, 103, 206, 412

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 438,103,412,985, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

438:2x 3x 73

103:103

412:2x 2x 103

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 103 = 206

Therefore, the value for common factors is 206.

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 = 18308163480/(1x206)

LCM = 18308163480/206

LCM = 88874580

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 438,103,412,985 is 88874580.
