Given numbers are 985,542,566,186
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 985,542,566,186 is 14050924530.
Find LCM of 985,542,566,186 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 985, 542, 566, 186 |
| 985, 271, 283, 93 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 985 x 271 x 283 x 93 = 14050924530
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,542,566,186 is 14050924530.
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 542 x 566 x 186 = 56203698120
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
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
566 : 1, 2, 283, 566
186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,542,566,186, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
985:5x 197
542:2x 271
566:2x 283
186:2x 3x 31
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 = 56203698120/(1x4)
LCM = 56203698120/4
LCM = 14050924530
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,542,566,186 is 14050924530.
