Given numbers are 996,847,281,304

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

The LCM of 996,847,281,304 is 18016177872.

Find LCM of 996,847,281,304 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 249 x 847 x 281 x 76 = 18016177872

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,847,281,304 is 18016177872.

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 847 x 281 x 304 = 72064711488

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

847 : 1, 7, 11, 77, 121, 847

281 : 1, 281

304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,847,281,304, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

847:7x 11x 11

281:281

304:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 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 = 72064711488/(1x4)

LCM = 72064711488/4

LCM = 18016177872

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,847,281,304 is 18016177872.
