Given numbers are 986,637,221,401
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 986,637,221,401 is 251860882.
Find LCM of 986,637,221,401 with Prime Factorization
| 13 | 986, 637, 221, 401 |
| 17 | 986, 49, 17, 401 |
| 58, 49, 1, 401 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
13 x 17 x 58 x 49 x 1 x 401 = 251860882
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,637,221,401 is 251860882.
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 637 x 221 x 401 = 55661254922
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
637 : 1, 7, 13, 49, 91, 637
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
401 : 1, 401
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,637,221,401, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
986:2x 17x 29
637:7x 7x 13
221:13x 17
401:401
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
13x 17 = 221
Therefore, the value for common factors is 221.
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 = 55661254922/(1x221)
LCM = 55661254922/221
LCM = 251860882
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,637,221,401 is 251860882.
