Given numbers are 986,472,638,616

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

The LCM of 986,472,638,616 is 17917592.

Find LCM of 986,472,638,616 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 29 x 17 x 59 x 1 x 7 = 17917592

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,472,638,616 is 17917592.

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 472 x 638 x 616 = 182902779136

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

472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472

638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638

616 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 56, 77, 88, 154, 308, 616

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,472,638,616, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

472:2x 2x 2x 59

638:2x 11x 29

616:2x 2x 2x 7x 11

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 2x 2x 11x 29 = 5104

Therefore, the value for common factors is 5104.

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 = 182902779136/(2x5104)

LCM = 182902779136/10208

LCM = 17917592

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,472,638,616 is 17917592.
