Given numbers are 685,949,959,178

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

The LCM of 685,949,959,178 is 809980990.

Find LCM of 685,949,959,178 with Prime Factorization

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

137 x 5 x 949 x 7 x 178 = 809980990

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 685,949,959,178 is 809980990.

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 949 x 959 x 178 = 110967395630

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

949 : 1, 13, 73, 949

959 : 1, 7, 137, 959

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 685,949,959,178, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

685:5x 137

949:13x 73

959:7x 137

178:2x 89

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

137 = 137

Therefore, the value for common factors is 137.

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 = 110967395630/(1x137)

LCM = 110967395630/137

LCM = 809980990

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 685,949,959,178 is 809980990.
