Given numbers are 986,678,961,437

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

The LCM of 986,678,961,437 is 140372307078.

Find LCM of 986,678,961,437 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 339 x 961 x 437 = 140372307078

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,678,961,437 is 140372307078.

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 678 x 961 x 437 = 280744614156

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

678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678

961 : 1, 31, 961

437 : 1, 19, 23, 437

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,678,961,437, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

678:2x 3x 113

961:31x 31

437:19x 23

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 280744614156/(1x2)

LCM = 280744614156/2

LCM = 140372307078

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,678,961,437 is 140372307078.
