Given numbers are 998,851,882

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

The LCM of 998,851,882 is 374540418.

Find LCM of 998,851,882 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 499 x 851 x 441 = 374540418

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 998,851,882 is 374540418.

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 851 x 882 = 749080836

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

851 : 1, 23, 37, 851

882 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 49, 63, 98, 126, 147, 294, 441, 882

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 998,851,882, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

998:2x 499

851:23x 37

882:2x 3x 3x 7x 7

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 749080836/(1x2)

LCM = 749080836/2

LCM = 374540418

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 998,851,882 is 374540418.
