Given numbers are 422,572,501,686
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 422,572,501,686 is 20740075356.
Find LCM of 422,572,501,686 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 422, 572, 501, 686 |
| 211, 286, 501, 343 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 211 x 286 x 501 x 343 = 20740075356
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 422,572,501,686 is 20740075356.
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.
422 x 572 x 501 x 686 = 82960301424
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.
422 : 1, 2, 211, 422
572 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, 572
501 : 1, 3, 167, 501
686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 422,572,501,686, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
422:2x 211
572:2x 2x 11x 13
501:3x 167
686:2x 7x 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.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 82960301424/(1x4)
LCM = 82960301424/4
LCM = 20740075356
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 422,572,501,686 is 20740075356.
