Given numbers are 196,686,253,726
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 196,686,253,726 is 11454828.
Find LCM of 196,686,253,726 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 196, 686, 253, 726 |
| 7 | 98, 343, 253, 363 |
| 7 | 14, 49, 253, 363 |
| 11 | 2, 7, 253, 363 |
| 2, 7, 23, 33 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 7 x 11 x 2 x 7 x 23 x 33 = 11454828
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 196,686,253,726 is 11454828.
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.
196 x 686 x 253 x 726 = 24696609168
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.
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
253 : 1, 11, 23, 253
726 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 121, 242, 363, 726
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 196,686,253,726, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
196:2x 2x 7x 7
686:2x 7x 7x 7
253:11x 23
726:2x 3x 11x 11
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 7x 7x 11 = 2156
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2156.
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 = 24696609168/(1x2156)
LCM = 24696609168/2156
LCM = 11454828
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 196,686,253,726 is 11454828.
