The LCM of 685,968,236,279,968 is 10914959880.
Find LCM of 685,968,236,279,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 685, 968, 236, 279, 968 |
| 2 | 685, 484, 118, 279, 484 |
| 2 | 685, 242, 59, 279, 242 |
| 11 | 685, 121, 59, 279, 121 |
| 11 | 685, 11, 59, 279, 11 |
| 685, 1, 59, 279, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 11 x 685 x 1 x 59 x 279 x 1 = 10914959880
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 685,968,236,279,968 is 10914959880.
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 968 x 236 x 279 x 968 = 42262724655360
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
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 685,968,236,279,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
685:5x 137
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
236:2x 2x 59
279:3x 3x 31
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 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 2x 2x 2x 2x 11x 11 = 3872
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3872.
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 = 42262724655360/(1x3872)
LCM = 42262724655360/3872
LCM = 10914959880
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 685,968,236,279,968 is 10914959880.
