Given numbers are 343,686,331,159
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 343,686,331,159 is 36103494.
Find LCM of 343,686,331,159 with Prime Factorization
| 7 | 343, 686, 331, 159 |
| 7 | 49, 98, 331, 159 |
| 7 | 7, 14, 331, 159 |
| 1, 2, 331, 159 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
7 x 7 x 7 x 1 x 2 x 331 x 159 = 36103494
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 343,686,331,159 is 36103494.
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.
343 x 686 x 331 x 159 = 12383498442
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.
343 : 1, 7, 49, 343
686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
331 : 1, 331
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 343,686,331,159, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
343:7x 7x 7
686:2x 7x 7x 7
331:331
159:3x 53
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
7x 7x 7 = 343
Therefore, the value for common factors is 343.
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 = 12383498442/(1x343)
LCM = 12383498442/343
LCM = 36103494
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 343,686,331,159 is 36103494.
