Given numbers are 897,203,988

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

The LCM of 897,203,988 is 13838916.

Find LCM of 897,203,988 with Prime Factorization

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

13 x 69 x 203 x 76 = 13838916

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 897,203,988 is 13838916.

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.

897 x 203 x 988 = 179905908

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.

897 : 1, 3, 13, 23, 39, 69, 299, 897

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 897,203,988, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

897:3x 13x 23

203:7x 29

988:2x 2x 13x 19

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

13 = 13

Therefore, the value for common factors is 13.

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 = 179905908/(1x13)

LCM = 179905908/13

LCM = 13838916

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 897,203,988 is 13838916.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 830, 145, 711
