Given numbers are 993,982,148,491

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

The LCM of 993,982,148,491 is 72159324.

Find LCM of 993,982,148,491 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 491 x 993 x 1 x 74 x 1 = 72159324

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 993,982,148,491 is 72159324.

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.

993 x 982 x 148 x 491 = 70860456168

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.

993 : 1, 3, 331, 993

982 : 1, 2, 491, 982

148 : 1, 2, 4, 37, 74, 148

491 : 1, 491

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 993,982,148,491, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

993:3x 331

982:2x 491

148:2x 2x 37

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.

2x 491 = 982

Therefore, the value for common factors is 982.

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 = 70860456168/(1x982)

LCM = 70860456168/982

LCM = 72159324

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 993,982,148,491 is 72159324.
