Given numbers are 986,974,338,862

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

The LCM of 986,974,338,862 is 34975976698.

Find LCM of 986,974,338,862 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 493 x 487 x 169 x 431 = 34975976698

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 986,974,338,862 is 34975976698.

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 974 x 338 x 862 = 279807813584

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

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 986,974,338,862, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

986:2x 17x 29

974:2x 487

338:2x 13x 13

862:2x 431

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 = 279807813584/(2x4)

LCM = 279807813584/8

LCM = 34975976698

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 986,974,338,862 is 34975976698.
