Given numbers are 986,656,258,311

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

The LCM of 986,656,258,311 is 12974805552.

Find LCM of 986,656,258,311 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 328 x 129 x 311 = 12974805552

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,656,258,311 is 12974805552.

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 656 x 258 x 311 = 51899222208

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

656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656

258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258

311 : 1, 311

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,656,258,311, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41

258:2x 3x 43

311:311

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 51899222208/(1x4)

LCM = 51899222208/4

LCM = 12974805552

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,656,258,311 is 12974805552.
