Given numbers are 859,408,936,986

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

The LCM of 859,408,936,986 is 396383832.

Find LCM of 859,408,936,986 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 859 x 1 x 39 x 29 = 396383832

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 859,408,936,986 is 396383832.

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.

859 x 408 x 936 x 986 = 323449206912

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.

859 : 1, 859

408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408

936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936

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 859,408,936,986, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

859:859

408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17

936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13

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 2x 2x 3x 17 = 816

Therefore, the value for common factors is 816.

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 = 323449206912/(1x816)

LCM = 323449206912/816

LCM = 396383832

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 859,408,936,986 is 396383832.
