Given numbers are 998,949,202,171

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

The LCM of 998,949,202,171 is 16357398642.

Find LCM of 998,949,202,171 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 499 x 949 x 101 x 171 = 16357398642

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 998,949,202,171 is 16357398642.

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 949 x 202 x 171 = 32714797284

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

949 : 1, 13, 73, 949

202 : 1, 2, 101, 202

171 : 1, 3, 9, 19, 57, 171

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 998,949,202,171, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

998:2x 499

949:13x 73

202:2x 101

171:3x 3x 19

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 = 32714797284/(1x2)

LCM = 32714797284/2

LCM = 16357398642

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 998,949,202,171 is 16357398642.
