Given numbers are 988,864,497,980

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

The LCM of 988,864,497,980 is 3712232160.

Find LCM of 988,864,497,980 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 7 x 247 x 216 x 71 x 35 = 3712232160

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,864,497,980 is 3712232160.

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 864 x 497 x 980 = 415770001920

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

864 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 72, 96, 108, 144, 216, 288, 432, 864

497 : 1, 7, 71, 497

980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,864,497,980, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

988:2x 2x 13x 19

864:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3

497:7x 71

980:2x 2x 5x 7x 7

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 7 = 112

Therefore, the value for common factors is 112.

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 = 415770001920/(1x112)

LCM = 415770001920/112

LCM = 3712232160

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,864,497,980 is 3712232160.
