Given numbers are 986,644,948,672
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 986,644,948,672 is 601964832.
Find LCM of 986,644,948,672 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 986, 644, 948, 672 |
| 2 | 493, 322, 474, 336 |
| 3 | 493, 161, 237, 168 |
| 7 | 493, 161, 79, 56 |
| 493, 23, 79, 8 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 493 x 23 x 79 x 8 = 601964832
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,644,948,672 is 601964832.
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 644 x 948 x 672 = 404520367104
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
644 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 23, 28, 46, 92, 161, 322, 644
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,644,948,672, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
986:2x 17x 29
644:2x 2x 7x 23
948:2x 2x 3x 79
672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
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 3x 7 = 336
Therefore, the value for common factors is 336.
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 = 404520367104/(2x336)
LCM = 404520367104/672
LCM = 601964832
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,644,948,672 is 601964832.
