Given numbers are 685,514,242,204

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

The LCM of 685,514,242,204 is 4345494780.

Find LCM of 685,514,242,204 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 685 x 257 x 121 x 102 = 4345494780

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 685,514,242,204 is 4345494780.

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 514 x 242 x 204 = 17381979120

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

514 : 1, 2, 257, 514

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

204 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 685,514,242,204, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

685:5x 137

514:2x 257

242:2x 11x 11

204:2x 2x 3x 17

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 = 17381979120/(1x4)

LCM = 17381979120/4

LCM = 4345494780

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 685,514,242,204 is 4345494780.
