Given numbers are 988,257,456,194

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

The LCM of 988,257,456,194 is 147779112.

Find LCM of 988,257,456,194 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 19 x 13 x 257 x 6 x 97 = 147779112

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,257,456,194 is 147779112.

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 257 x 456 x 194 = 22462425024

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

257 : 1, 257

456 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 456

194 : 1, 2, 97, 194

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,257,456,194, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

257:257

456:2x 2x 2x 3x 19

194:2x 97

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 2x 19 = 152

Therefore, the value for common factors is 152.

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 = 22462425024/(1x152)

LCM = 22462425024/152

LCM = 147779112

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,257,456,194 is 147779112.
