Given numbers are 988,118,957,295,314
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 988,118,957,295,314 is 43791573540.
Find LCM of 988,118,957,295,314 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 988, 118, 957, 295, 314 |
| 59 | 494, 59, 957, 295, 157 |
| 494, 1, 957, 5, 157 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 59 x 494 x 1 x 957 x 5 x 157 = 43791573540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,118,957,295,314 is 43791573540.
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.
988 x 118 x 957 x 295 x 314 = 10334811355440
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.
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
295 : 1, 5, 59, 295
314 : 1, 2, 157, 314
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,118,957,295,314, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
988:2x 2x 13x 19
118:2x 59
957:3x 11x 29
295:5x 59
314:2x 157
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 59 = 236
Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.
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 = 10334811355440/(1x236)
LCM = 10334811355440/236
LCM = 43791573540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,118,957,295,314 is 43791573540.
