Given numbers are 983,138,230,962

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

The LCM of 983,138,230,962 is 326247870.

Find LCM of 983,138,230,962 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 23 x 983 x 3 x 5 x 481 = 326247870

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 983,138,230,962 is 326247870.

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.

983 x 138 x 230 x 962 = 30014804040

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.

983 : 1, 983

138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138

230 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 46, 115, 230

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 983,138,230,962, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

983:983

138:2x 3x 23

230:2x 5x 23

962:2x 13x 37

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 23 = 92

Therefore, the value for common factors is 92.

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 = 30014804040/(1x92)

LCM = 30014804040/92

LCM = 326247870

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 983,138,230,962 is 326247870.
