Given numbers are 998,820,488,157

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

The LCM of 998,820,488,157 is 7837433720.

Find LCM of 998,820,488,157 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 499 x 205 x 122 x 157 = 7837433720

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 998,820,488,157 is 7837433720.

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 820 x 488 x 157 = 62699469760

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

820 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 41, 82, 164, 205, 410, 820

488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488

157 : 1, 157

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 998,820,488,157, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

998:2x 499

820:2x 2x 5x 41

488:2x 2x 2x 61

157:157

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 62699469760/(1x8)

LCM = 62699469760/8

LCM = 7837433720

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 998,820,488,157 is 7837433720.
