Given numbers are 996,838,854,982

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

The LCM of 996,838,854,982 is 87494897868.

Find LCM of 996,838,854,982 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 498 x 419 x 427 x 491 = 87494897868

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,838,854,982 is 87494897868.

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 838 x 854 x 982 = 699959182944

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

838 : 1, 2, 419, 838

854 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 61, 122, 427, 854

982 : 1, 2, 491, 982

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,838,854,982, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

838:2x 419

854:2x 7x 61

982:2x 491

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 699959182944/(2x4)

LCM = 699959182944/8

LCM = 87494897868

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,838,854,982 is 87494897868.
