Calculate the LCM of 686,186,948

Given numbers are 686,186,948

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

The LCM of 686,186,948 is 10080084.

Find LCM of 686,186,948 with Prime Factorization


2 686, 186, 948
3 343, 93, 474
343, 31, 158

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

2 x 3 x 343 x 31 x 158 = 10080084

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,186,948 is 10080084.

LCM Formula to Find Lowest Common Multiple of 686,186,948

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.

686 x 186 x 948 = 120961008

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.

686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686

186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186

948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,186,948, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

686:2x 7x 7x 7

186:2x 3x 31

948:2x 2x 3x 79

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 120961008/(2x6)

LCM = 120961008/12

LCM = 10080084

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,186,948 is 10080084.
