Given numbers are 968,664,986,516

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

The LCM of 968,664,986,516 is 5109637368.

Find LCM of 968,664,986,516 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 121 x 83 x 493 x 129 = 5109637368

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,664,986,516 is 5109637368.

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 664 x 986 x 516 = 327016791552

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

664 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 83, 166, 332, 664

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

516 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 43, 86, 129, 172, 258, 516

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,664,986,516, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

664:2x 2x 2x 83

986:2x 17x 29

516:2x 2x 3x 43

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 2 = 32

Therefore, the value for common factors is 32.

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 = 327016791552/(2x32)

LCM = 327016791552/64

LCM = 5109637368

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,664,986,516 is 5109637368.
