Given numbers are 488,327,162,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 488,327,162,986 is 2124116136.
Find LCM of 488,327,162,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 488, 327, 162, 986 |
| 3 | 244, 327, 81, 493 |
| 244, 109, 27, 493 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 244 x 109 x 27 x 493 = 2124116136
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 488,327,162,986 is 2124116136.
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.
488 x 327 x 162 x 986 = 25489393632
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.
488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488
327 : 1, 3, 109, 327
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
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 488,327,162,986, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
488:2x 2x 2x 61
327:3x 109
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
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.
2x 2x 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 25489393632/(1x12)
LCM = 25489393632/12
LCM = 2124116136
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 488,327,162,986 is 2124116136.
