Given numbers are 524,374,471,686
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 524,374,471,686 is 15830255364.
Find LCM of 524,374,471,686 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 524, 374, 471, 686 |
| 262, 187, 471, 343 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 262 x 187 x 471 x 343 = 15830255364
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 524,374,471,686 is 15830255364.
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.
524 x 374 x 471 x 686 = 63321021456
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.
524 : 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524
374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374
471 : 1, 3, 157, 471
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 524,374,471,686, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
524:2x 2x 131
374:2x 11x 17
471:3x 157
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 = 63321021456/(1x4)
LCM = 63321021456/4
LCM = 15830255364
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 524,374,471,686 is 15830255364.
