Given numbers are 986,137,344,374

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

The LCM of 986,137,344,374 is 255575144.

Find LCM of 986,137,344,374 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 17 x 29 x 137 x 172 x 11 = 255575144

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,137,344,374 is 255575144.

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 137 x 344 x 374 = 17379109792

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

137 : 1, 137

344 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, 344

374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,137,344,374, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

137:137

344:2x 2x 2x 43

374:2x 11x 17

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 17 = 68

Therefore, the value for common factors is 68.

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 = 17379109792/(1x68)

LCM = 17379109792/68

LCM = 255575144

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,137,344,374 is 255575144.
