Given numbers are 515,721,968,985

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

The LCM of 515,721,968,985 is 687459080.

Find LCM of 515,721,968,985 with Prime Factorization

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

5 x 103 x 1 x 7 x 968 x 197 = 687459080

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 515,721,968,985 is 687459080.

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.

515 x 721 x 968 x 985 = 354041426200

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.

515 : 1, 5, 103, 515

721 : 1, 7, 103, 721

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

985 : 1, 5, 197, 985

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 515,721,968,985, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

515:5x 103

721:7x 103

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

985:5x 197

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

5x 103 = 515

Therefore, the value for common factors is 515.

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 = 354041426200/(1x515)

LCM = 354041426200/515

LCM = 687459080

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 515,721,968,985 is 687459080.
