Given numbers are 550,157,974,998

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

The LCM of 550,157,974,998 is 20984172550.

Find LCM of 550,157,974,998 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 275 x 157 x 487 x 499 = 20984172550

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 550,157,974,998 is 20984172550.

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.

550 x 157 x 974 x 998 = 83936690200

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.

550 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 50, 55, 110, 275, 550

157 : 1, 157

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

998 : 1, 2, 499, 998

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 550,157,974,998, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

550:2x 5x 5x 11

157:157

974:2x 487

998:2x 499

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 = 83936690200/(1x4)

LCM = 83936690200/4

LCM = 20984172550

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 550,157,974,998 is 20984172550.
