Given numbers are 985,668,678,226

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

The LCM of 985,668,678,226 is 223055220.

Find LCM of 985,668,678,226 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 113 x 985 x 334 x 3 x 1 = 223055220

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,668,678,226 is 223055220.

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 668 x 678 x 226 = 100820959440

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

668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668

678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678

226 : 1, 2, 113, 226

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,668,678,226, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

985:5x 197

668:2x 2x 167

678:2x 3x 113

226:2x 113

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 113 = 452

Therefore, the value for common factors is 452.

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 = 100820959440/(1x452)

LCM = 100820959440/452

LCM = 223055220

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,668,678,226 is 223055220.
