$168.84 (\frac{1 - {(1.01)}^{- 9}}{0.01})$

Step 1

Multiply each number by

$10000000000000000000000000$ to get rid of decimals.

$1.4462864 \times 10^{28}$

Step 2

The LCM is the smallest positive number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

1. List the prime factors of each number.

2. Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

Step 3

The prime factorization cannot be found because

$1.4462864 \times 10^{28}$ is not an integer.

No Prime Factorization

Step 4

Since we multiplied by

$10000000000000000000000000$ to get rid of the decimals, divide the answer by

$10000000000000000000000000$ .

$N o (P r i m e) \frac{F a c t o r i z a t i o n}{10000000000000000000000000}$
