Given numbers are 996,946,659,214,460

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

The LCM of 996,946,659,214,460 is 3820212416460.

Find LCM of 996,946,659,214,460 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 249 x 473 x 659 x 107 x 115 = 3820212416460

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,946,659,214,460 is 3820212416460.

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 946 x 659 x 214 x 460 = 61123398663360

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

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

659 : 1, 659

214 : 1, 2, 107, 214

460 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 46, 92, 115, 230, 460

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,946,659,214,460, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

996:2x 2x 3x 83

946:2x 11x 43

659:659

214:2x 107

460:2x 2x 5x 23

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 = 61123398663360/(1x16)

LCM = 61123398663360/16

LCM = 3820212416460

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,946,659,214,460 is 3820212416460.
