Given numbers are 685,946,132,165
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 685,946,132,165 is 3888060.
Find LCM of 685,946,132,165 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 685, 946, 132, 165 |
| 3 | 685, 473, 66, 165 |
| 5 | 685, 473, 22, 55 |
| 11 | 137, 473, 22, 11 |
| 137, 43, 2, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 11 x 137 x 43 x 2 x 1 = 3888060
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 685,946,132,165 is 3888060.
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 946 x 132 x 165 = 14113657800
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
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
132 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132
165 : 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 33, 55, 165
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 685,946,132,165, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
685:5x 137
946:2x 11x 43
132:2x 2x 3x 11
165:3x 5x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 5x 11x 11 = 3630
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3630.
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 = 14113657800/(1x3630)
LCM = 14113657800/3630
LCM = 3888060
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 685,946,132,165 is 3888060.
