Given numbers are 985,986,992,744

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

The LCM of 985,986,992,744 is 1445160480.

Find LCM of 985,986,992,744 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 31 x 985 x 493 x 4 x 3 = 1445160480

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,986,992,744 is 1445160480.

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 986 x 992 x 744 = 716799598080

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

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

992 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 32, 62, 124, 248, 496, 992

744 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 248, 372, 744

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,986,992,744, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

985:5x 197

986:2x 17x 29

992:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 31

744:2x 2x 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 2x 2x 2x 31 = 496

Therefore, the value for common factors is 496.

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 = 716799598080/(1x496)

LCM = 716799598080/496

LCM = 1445160480

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,986,992,744 is 1445160480.
