Given numbers are 996,688,936,159,176

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

The LCM of 996,688,936,159,176 is 3895120944.

Find LCM of 996,688,936,159,176 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 83 x 43 x 39 x 53 x 11 = 3895120944

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,688,936,159,176 is 3895120944.

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 688 x 936 x 159 x 176 = 17948717309952

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

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

176 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,688,936,159,176, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13

159:3x 53

176:2x 2x 2x 2x 11

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3 = 4608

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4608.

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 = 17948717309952/(1x4608)

LCM = 17948717309952/4608

LCM = 3895120944

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,688,936,159,176 is 3895120944.
