Given numbers are 986,259,542,284

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

The LCM of 986,259,542,284 is 9827302268.

Find LCM of 986,259,542,284 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 259 x 271 x 142 = 9827302268

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,259,542,284 is 9827302268.

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 259 x 542 x 284 = 39309209072

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

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,259,542,284, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

259:7x 37

542:2x 271

284:2x 2x 71

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 = 39309209072/(1x4)

LCM = 39309209072/4

LCM = 9827302268

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,259,542,284 is 9827302268.
