Given numbers are 988,472,149,988,432

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

The LCM of 988,472,149,988,432 is 938034864.

Find LCM of 988,472,149,988,432 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 19 x 1 x 59 x 149 x 1 x 54 = 938034864

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,472,149,988,432 is 938034864.

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 472 x 149 x 988 x 432 = 29656910260224

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

472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472

149 : 1, 149

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,472,149,988,432, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

472:2x 2x 2x 59

149:149

988:2x 2x 13x 19

432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 13x 19 = 31616

Therefore, the value for common factors is 31616.

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 = 29656910260224/(1x31616)

LCM = 29656910260224/31616

LCM = 938034864

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,472,149,988,432 is 938034864.
