Given numbers are 988,133,171,278

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

The LCM of 988,133,171,278 is 8651916.

Find LCM of 988,133,171,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 19 x 26 x 7 x 9 x 139 = 8651916

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,133,171,278 is 8651916.

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 133 x 171 x 278 = 6246683352

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

133 : 1, 7, 19, 133

171 : 1, 3, 9, 19, 57, 171

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,133,171,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

133:7x 19

171:3x 3x 19

278:2x 139

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

2x 19x 19 = 722

Therefore, the value for common factors is 722.

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 = 6246683352/(1x722)

LCM = 6246683352/722

LCM = 8651916

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,133,171,278 is 8651916.
