Given numbers are 985,709,788,461

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

The LCM of 985,709,788,461 is 1287785060.

Find LCM of 985,709,788,461 with Prime Factorization

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

197 x 5 x 709 x 4 x 461 = 1287785060

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,709,788,461 is 1287785060.

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 709 x 788 x 461 = 253693656820

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

709 : 1, 709

788 : 1, 2, 4, 197, 394, 788

461 : 1, 461

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,709,788,461, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

985:5x 197

709:709

788:2x 2x 197

461:461

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

197 = 197

Therefore, the value for common factors is 197.

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 = 253693656820/(1x197)

LCM = 253693656820/197

LCM = 1287785060

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,709,788,461 is 1287785060.
