Given numbers are 986,106,138,391
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 986,106,138,391 is 3605802.
Find LCM of 986,106,138,391 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 986, 106, 138, 391 |
| 17 | 493, 53, 69, 391 |
| 23 | 29, 53, 69, 23 |
| 29, 53, 3, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 23 x 29 x 53 x 3 x 1 = 3605802
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,106,138,391 is 3605802.
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.
986 x 106 x 138 x 391 = 5639474328
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.
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
106 : 1, 2, 53, 106
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,106,138,391, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
986:2x 17x 29
106:2x 53
138:2x 3x 23
391:17x 23
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 17x 23 = 1564
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1564.
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 = 5639474328/(1x1564)
LCM = 5639474328/1564
LCM = 3605802
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,106,138,391 is 3605802.
