Given numbers are 996,721,750,162,236

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

The LCM of 996,721,750,162,236 is 142994848500.

Find LCM of 996,721,750,162,236 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 83 x 721 x 125 x 27 x 59 = 142994848500

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,721,750,162,236 is 142994848500.

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 721 x 750 x 162 x 236 = 20591258184000

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

721 : 1, 7, 103, 721

750 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 125, 150, 250, 375, 750

162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,721,750,162,236, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

721:7x 103

750:2x 3x 5x 5x 5

162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3

236:2x 2x 59

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 3 = 144

Therefore, the value for common factors is 144.

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 = 20591258184000/(1x144)

LCM = 20591258184000/144

LCM = 142994848500

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,721,750,162,236 is 142994848500.
