Given numbers are 986,138,497,388

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

The LCM of 986,138,497,388 is 6559702212.

Find LCM of 986,138,497,388 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 69 x 497 x 194 = 6559702212

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,138,497,388 is 6559702212.

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 138 x 497 x 388 = 26238808848

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

138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138

497 : 1, 7, 71, 497

388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,138,497,388, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

138:2x 3x 23

497:7x 71

388:2x 2x 97

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 26238808848/(1x4)

LCM = 26238808848/4

LCM = 6559702212

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,138,497,388 is 6559702212.
