Given numbers are 988,540,676,721

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

The LCM of 988,540,676,721 is 1250170740.

Find LCM of 988,540,676,721 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 13 x 19 x 135 x 13 x 721 = 1250170740

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,540,676,721 is 1250170740.

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 540 x 676 x 721 = 260035513920

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

540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540

676 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676

721 : 1, 7, 103, 721

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,540,676,721, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5

676:2x 2x 13x 13

721:7x 103

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 13 = 208

Therefore, the value for common factors is 208.

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 = 260035513920/(1x208)

LCM = 260035513920/208

LCM = 1250170740

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,540,676,721 is 1250170740.
