Given numbers are 968,306,986,728,203

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

The LCM of 968,306,986,728,203 is 390846456.

Find LCM of 968,306,986,728,203 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 17 x 29 x 121 x 9 x 1 x 13 x 1 = 390846456

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,306,986,728,203 is 390846456.

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.

968 x 306 x 986 x 728 x 203 = 43161955828992

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.

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

306 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 34, 51, 102, 153, 306

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

728 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 56, 91, 104, 182, 364, 728

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,306,986,728,203, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

306:2x 3x 3x 17

986:2x 17x 29

728:2x 2x 2x 7x 13

203:7x 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 2x 7x 17x 29 = 110432

Therefore, the value for common factors is 110432.

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 = 43161955828992/(1x110432)

LCM = 43161955828992/110432

LCM = 390846456

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,306,986,728,203 is 390846456.
