Given numbers are 508,218,430,686

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 508,218,430,686 is 4083408140.

Find LCM of 508,218,430,686 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 254 x 109 x 215 x 343 = 4083408140

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 508,218,430,686 is 4083408140.

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.

508 x 218 x 430 x 686 = 32667265120

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.

508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508

218 : 1, 2, 109, 218

430 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 43, 86, 215, 430

686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 508,218,430,686, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

508:2x 2x 127

218:2x 109

430:2x 5x 43

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 = 32667265120/(2x4)

LCM = 32667265120/8

LCM = 4083408140

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 508,218,430,686 is 4083408140.
