Given numbers are 685,372,217,979

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

The LCM of 685,372,217,979 is 1746281460.

Find LCM of 685,372,217,979 with Prime Factorization

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

31 x 685 x 12 x 7 x 979 = 1746281460

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 685,372,217,979 is 1746281460.

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.

685 x 372 x 217 x 979 = 54134725260

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.

685 : 1, 5, 137, 685

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

217 : 1, 7, 31, 217

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 685,372,217,979, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

685:5x 137

372:2x 2x 3x 31

217:7x 31

979:11x 89

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

31 = 31

Therefore, the value for common factors is 31.

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 = 54134725260/(1x31)

LCM = 54134725260/31

LCM = 1746281460

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 685,372,217,979 is 1746281460.
