The LCM of 493,686,420,852 is 720361740.
Find LCM of 493,686,420,852 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 493, 686, 420, 852 |
| 2 | 493, 343, 210, 426 |
| 3 | 493, 343, 105, 213 |
| 7 | 493, 343, 35, 71 |
| 493, 49, 5, 71 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 493 x 49 x 5 x 71 = 720361740
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 493,686,420,852 is 720361740.
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.
493 x 686 x 420 x 852 = 121020772320
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.
493 : 1, 17, 29, 493
686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
852 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 71, 142, 213, 284, 426, 852
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 493,686,420,852, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
493:17x 29
686:2x 7x 7x 7
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
852:2x 2x 3x 71
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 2x 3x 7 = 168
Therefore, the value for common factors is 168.
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 = 121020772320/(1x168)
LCM = 121020772320/168
LCM = 720361740
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 493,686,420,852 is 720361740.
