Given numbers are 988,292,946,248

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

The LCM of 988,292,946,248 is 2115108424.

Find LCM of 988,292,946,248 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 247 x 73 x 473 x 62 = 2115108424

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,292,946,248 is 2115108424.

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 292 x 946 x 248 = 67683469568

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

292 : 1, 2, 4, 73, 146, 292

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

248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,292,946,248, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

292:2x 2x 73

946:2x 11x 43

248:2x 2x 2x 31

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 67683469568/(2x16)

LCM = 67683469568/32

LCM = 2115108424

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,292,946,248 is 2115108424.
