Given numbers are 988,218,946,373

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

The LCM of 988,218,946,373 is 18999991868.

Find LCM of 988,218,946,373 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 494 x 109 x 473 x 373 = 18999991868

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,218,946,373 is 18999991868.

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 946 x 373 = 75999967472

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

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

373 : 1, 373

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,218,946,373, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

218:2x 109

946:2x 11x 43

373:373

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 = 75999967472/(1x4)

LCM = 75999967472/4

LCM = 18999991868

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,218,946,373 is 18999991868.
