The LCM of 686,259,850,315,978 is 15825042450.
Find LCM of 686,259,850,315,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 686, 259, 850, 315, 978 |
| 3 | 343, 259, 425, 315, 489 |
| 5 | 343, 259, 425, 105, 163 |
| 7 | 343, 259, 85, 21, 163 |
| 49, 37, 85, 3, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 49 x 37 x 85 x 3 x 163 = 15825042450
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,259,850,315,978 is 15825042450.
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 259 x 850 x 315 x 978 = 46525624803000
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
259 : 1, 7, 37, 259
850 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, 850
315 : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 35, 45, 63, 105, 315
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,259,850,315,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
686:2x 7x 7x 7
259:7x 37
850:2x 5x 5x 17
315:3x 3x 5x 7
978:2x 3x 163
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 3x 5x 7x 7 = 2940
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2940.
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 = 46525624803000/(1x2940)
LCM = 46525624803000/2940
LCM = 15825042450
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,259,850,315,978 is 15825042450.
