Given numbers are 997,140,982,446

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

The LCM of 997,140,982,446 is 15283032940.

Find LCM of 997,140,982,446 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 997 x 70 x 491 x 223 = 15283032940

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 997,140,982,446 is 15283032940.

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.

997 x 140 x 982 x 446 = 61132131760

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.

997 : 1, 997

140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140

982 : 1, 2, 491, 982

446 : 1, 2, 223, 446

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 997,140,982,446, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

997:997

140:2x 2x 5x 7

982:2x 491

446:2x 223

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 = 61132131760/(1x4)

LCM = 61132131760/4

LCM = 15283032940

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 997,140,982,446 is 15283032940.
