Given numbers are 985,372,137,506

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

The LCM of 985,372,137,506 is 12700483620.

Find LCM of 985,372,137,506 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 985 x 186 x 137 x 253 = 12700483620

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,372,137,506 is 12700483620.

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.

985 x 372 x 137 x 506 = 25400967240

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.

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

137 : 1, 137

506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,372,137,506, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

985:5x 197

372:2x 2x 3x 31

137:137

506:2x 11x 23

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 25400967240/(1x2)

LCM = 25400967240/2

LCM = 12700483620

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,372,137,506 is 12700483620.
