Given numbers are 982,331,864,218,187

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

The LCM of 982,331,864,218,187 is 2862143029152.

Find LCM of 982,331,864,218,187 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 491 x 331 x 432 x 109 x 187 = 2862143029152

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 982,331,864,218,187 is 2862143029152.

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.

982 x 331 x 864 x 218 x 187 = 11448572116608

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.

982 : 1, 2, 491, 982

331 : 1, 331

864 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 72, 96, 108, 144, 216, 288, 432, 864

218 : 1, 2, 109, 218

187 : 1, 11, 17, 187

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 982,331,864,218,187, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

982:2x 491

331:331

864:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3

218:2x 109

187:11x 17

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 11448572116608/(1x4)

LCM = 11448572116608/4

LCM = 2862143029152

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 982,331,864,218,187 is 2862143029152.
