Given numbers are 980,898,486,188,242

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

The LCM of 980,898,486,188,242 is 608081678820.

Find LCM of 980,898,486,188,242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 245 x 449 x 243 x 47 x 121 = 608081678820

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 980,898,486,188,242 is 608081678820.

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.

980 x 898 x 486 x 188 x 242 = 19458613722240

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.

980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980

898 : 1, 2, 449, 898

486 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486

188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 980,898,486,188,242, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

980:2x 2x 5x 7x 7

898:2x 449

486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

188:2x 2x 47

242:2x 11x 11

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 19458613722240/(2x16)

LCM = 19458613722240/32

LCM = 608081678820

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 980,898,486,188,242 is 608081678820.
