Given numbers are 996,592,908,988

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

The LCM of 996,592,908,988 is 8265019152.

Find LCM of 996,592,908,988 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 249 x 148 x 227 x 247 = 8265019152

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,592,908,988 is 8265019152.

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 592 x 908 x 988 = 528961225728

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

592 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 37, 74, 148, 296, 592

908 : 1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,592,908,988, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

592:2x 2x 2x 2x 37

908:2x 2x 227

988:2x 2x 13x 19

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 528961225728/(4x16)

LCM = 528961225728/64

LCM = 8265019152

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,592,908,988 is 8265019152.
