Given numbers are 986,646,748,977

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

The LCM of 986,646,748,977 is 402668596.

Find LCM of 986,646,748,977 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 17 x 29 x 19 x 22 x 977 = 402668596

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,646,748,977 is 402668596.

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 646 x 748 x 977 = 465484896976

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

646 : 1, 2, 17, 19, 34, 38, 323, 646

748 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748

977 : 1, 977

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,646,748,977, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

646:2x 17x 19

748:2x 2x 11x 17

977:977

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 17x 17 = 1156

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1156.

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 = 465484896976/(1x1156)

LCM = 465484896976/1156

LCM = 402668596

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,646,748,977 is 402668596.
