The LCM of 686,197,242,847 is 16352182.
Find LCM of 686,197,242,847 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 686, 197, 242, 847 |
| 7 | 343, 197, 121, 847 |
| 11 | 49, 197, 121, 121 |
| 11 | 49, 197, 11, 11 |
| 49, 197, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 11 x 11 x 49 x 197 x 1 x 1 = 16352182
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,197,242,847 is 16352182.
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 197 x 242 x 847 = 27700596308
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
197 : 1, 197
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
847 : 1, 7, 11, 77, 121, 847
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,197,242,847, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
686:2x 7x 7x 7
197:197
242:2x 11x 11
847:7x 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 7x 11x 11 = 1694
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1694.
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 = 27700596308/(1x1694)
LCM = 27700596308/1694
LCM = 16352182
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,197,242,847 is 16352182.
