Given numbers are 996,260,728,538

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

The LCM of 996,260,728,538 is 243810840.

Find LCM of 996,260,728,538 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 13 x 249 x 5 x 14 x 269 = 243810840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,260,728,538 is 243810840.

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 260 x 728 x 538 = 101425309440

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

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

728 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 56, 91, 104, 182, 364, 728

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,260,728,538, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

260:2x 2x 5x 13

728:2x 2x 2x 7x 13

538:2x 269

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 = 101425309440/(2x208)

LCM = 101425309440/416

LCM = 243810840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,260,728,538 is 243810840.
