Given numbers are 996,348,252,173,957

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

The LCM of 996,348,252,173,957 is 1154291292.

Find LCM of 996,348,252,173,957 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 29 x 83 x 1 x 21 x 173 x 11 = 1154291292

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,348,252,173,957 is 1154291292.

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 348 x 252 x 173 x 957 = 14460961306176

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

348 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 348

252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252

173 : 1, 173

957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,348,252,173,957, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

348:2x 2x 3x 29

252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7

173:173

957:3x 11x 29

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 3x 3x 3x 29 = 12528

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12528.

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 = 14460961306176/(1x12528)

LCM = 14460961306176/12528

LCM = 1154291292

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,348,252,173,957 is 1154291292.
