Given numbers are 986,431,471,970

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

The LCM of 986,431,471,970 is 97077108210.

Find LCM of 986,431,471,970 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 431 x 471 x 485 = 97077108210

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,431,471,970 is 97077108210.

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 431 x 471 x 970 = 194154216420

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

431 : 1, 431

471 : 1, 3, 157, 471

970 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,431,471,970, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

431:431

471:3x 157

970:2x 5x 97

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 = 194154216420/(1x2)

LCM = 194154216420/2

LCM = 97077108210

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,431,471,970 is 97077108210.
