Given numbers are 988,351,229,491

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

The LCM of 988,351,229,491 is 2999422764.

Find LCM of 988,351,229,491 with Prime Factorization

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

13 x 76 x 27 x 229 x 491 = 2999422764

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,351,229,491 is 2999422764.

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 351 x 229 x 491 = 38992495932

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

351 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 27, 39, 117, 351

229 : 1, 229

491 : 1, 491

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,351,229,491, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

351:3x 3x 3x 13

229:229

491:491

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

13 = 13

Therefore, the value for common factors is 13.

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 = 38992495932/(1x13)

LCM = 38992495932/13

LCM = 2999422764

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,351,229,491 is 2999422764.
