Given numbers are 996,431,638,203

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

The LCM of 996,431,638,203 is 958573308.

Find LCM of 996,431,638,203 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 29 x 498 x 431 x 11 x 7 = 958573308

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,431,638,203 is 958573308.

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 431 x 638 x 203 = 55597251864

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

431 : 1, 431

638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,431,638,203, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

431:431

638:2x 11x 29

203:7x 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 29 = 58

Therefore, the value for common factors is 58.

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 = 55597251864/(1x58)

LCM = 55597251864/58

LCM = 958573308

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,431,638,203 is 958573308.
