The LCM of 596,539,872,686 is 490218344.
Find LCM of 596,539,872,686 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 596, 539, 872, 686 |
| 2 | 298, 539, 436, 343 |
| 7 | 149, 539, 218, 343 |
| 7 | 149, 77, 218, 49 |
| 149, 11, 218, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 7 x 149 x 11 x 218 x 7 = 490218344
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 596,539,872,686 is 490218344.
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.
596 x 539 x 872 x 686 = 192165590848
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.
596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596
539 : 1, 7, 11, 49, 77, 539
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
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 596,539,872,686, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
596:2x 2x 149
539:7x 7x 11
872:2x 2x 2x 109
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 2x 2x 7x 7 = 392
Therefore, the value for common factors is 392.
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 = 192165590848/(1x392)
LCM = 192165590848/392
LCM = 490218344
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 596,539,872,686 is 490218344.
