Given numbers are 998,840,177,318,372

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

The LCM of 998,840,177,318,372 is 40632112920.

Find LCM of 998,840,177,318,372 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 499 x 70 x 59 x 53 x 31 = 40632112920

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 998,840,177,318,372 is 40632112920.

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 840 x 177 x 318 x 372 = 17553072781440

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

840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840

177 : 1, 3, 59, 177

318 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 53, 106, 159, 318

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 998,840,177,318,372, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

998:2x 499

840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7

177:3x 59

318:2x 3x 53

372:2x 2x 3x 31

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 2x 3x 3x 3 = 432

Therefore, the value for common factors is 432.

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 = 17553072781440/(1x432)

LCM = 17553072781440/432

LCM = 40632112920

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 998,840,177,318,372 is 40632112920.
