Given numbers are 998,756,518,556
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 998,756,518,556 is 1940165892.
Find LCM of 998,756,518,556 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 998, 756, 518, 556 |
| 2 | 499, 378, 259, 278 |
| 7 | 499, 189, 259, 139 |
| 499, 27, 37, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 499 x 27 x 37 x 139 = 1940165892
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 998,756,518,556 is 1940165892.
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 756 x 518 x 556 = 217298579904
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
756 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 27, 28, 36, 42, 54, 63, 84, 108, 126, 189, 252, 378, 756
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 998,756,518,556, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
998:2x 499
756:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 7
518:2x 7x 37
556:2x 2x 139
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 7 = 56
Therefore, the value for common factors is 56.
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 = 217298579904/(2x56)
LCM = 217298579904/112
LCM = 1940165892
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 998,756,518,556 is 1940165892.
