Given numbers are 988,218,839,537
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 988,218,839,537 is 48519876756.
Find LCM of 988,218,839,537 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 988, 218, 839, 537 |
| 494, 109, 839, 537 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 494 x 109 x 839 x 537 = 48519876756
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,218,839,537 is 48519876756.
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 218 x 839 x 537 = 97039753512
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
218 : 1, 2, 109, 218
839 : 1, 839
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,218,839,537, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
988:2x 2x 13x 19
218:2x 109
839:839
537:3x 179
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 = 97039753512/(1x2)
LCM = 97039753512/2
LCM = 48519876756
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,218,839,537 is 48519876756.
