Given numbers are 990,958,221,956

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

The LCM of 990,958,221,956 is 50094595980.

Find LCM of 990,958,221,956 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 495 x 479 x 221 x 478 = 50094595980

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 990,958,221,956 is 50094595980.

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.

990 x 958 x 221 x 956 = 200378383920

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.

990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

221 : 1, 13, 17, 221

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 990,958,221,956, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

990:2x 3x 3x 5x 11

958:2x 479

221:13x 17

956:2x 2x 239

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 200378383920/(1x4)

LCM = 200378383920/4

LCM = 50094595980

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 990,958,221,956 is 50094595980.
