Given numbers are 986,331,473,868

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

The LCM of 986,331,473,868 is 66997065212.

Find LCM of 986,331,473,868 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 331 x 473 x 434 = 66997065212

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,331,473,868 is 66997065212.

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 331 x 473 x 868 = 133994130424

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

331 : 1, 331

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

868 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 31, 62, 124, 217, 434, 868

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,331,473,868, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

331:331

473:11x 43

868:2x 2x 7x 31

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 133994130424/(1x2)

LCM = 133994130424/2

LCM = 66997065212

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,331,473,868 is 66997065212.
