Given numbers are 998,118,142,590

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

The LCM of 998,118,142,590 is 20903110.

Find LCM of 998,118,142,590 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 499 x 1 x 71 x 5 = 20903110

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 998,118,142,590 is 20903110.

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.

998 x 118 x 142 x 590 = 9866267920

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.

998 : 1, 2, 499, 998

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

142 : 1, 2, 71, 142

590 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 59, 118, 295, 590

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 998,118,142,590, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

998:2x 499

118:2x 59

142:2x 71

590:2x 5x 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 59 = 236

Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.

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 = 9866267920/(2x236)

LCM = 9866267920/472

LCM = 20903110

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 998,118,142,590 is 20903110.
