Given numbers are 496,838,242,977

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

The LCM of 496,838,242,977 is 24568329808.

Find LCM of 496,838,242,977 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 248 x 419 x 121 x 977 = 24568329808

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 496,838,242,977 is 24568329808.

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.

496 x 838 x 242 x 977 = 98273319232

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.

496 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496

838 : 1, 2, 419, 838

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

977 : 1, 977

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 496,838,242,977, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31

838:2x 419

242:2x 11x 11

977:977

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 = 98273319232/(1x4)

LCM = 98273319232/4

LCM = 24568329808

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 496,838,242,977 is 24568329808.
