Given numbers are 996,146,931,502

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

The LCM of 996,146,931,502 is 16990478148.

Find LCM of 996,146,931,502 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 498 x 73 x 931 x 251 = 16990478148

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,146,931,502 is 16990478148.

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.

996 x 146 x 931 x 502 = 67961912592

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.

996 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

931 : 1, 7, 19, 49, 133, 931

502 : 1, 2, 251, 502

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,146,931,502, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

146:2x 73

931:7x 7x 19

502:2x 251

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 = 67961912592/(1x4)

LCM = 67961912592/4

LCM = 16990478148

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,146,931,502 is 16990478148.
