Given numbers are 686,331,146,876

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

The LCM of 686,331,146,876 is 99454908.

Find LCM of 686,331,146,876 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 73 x 343 x 331 x 1 x 6 = 99454908

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,331,146,876 is 99454908.

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 331 x 146 x 876 = 29040833136

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

331 : 1, 331

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

876 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 73, 146, 219, 292, 438, 876

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,331,146,876, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

686:2x 7x 7x 7

331:331

146:2x 73

876:2x 2x 3x 73

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 73 = 292

Therefore, the value for common factors is 292.

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 = 29040833136/(1x292)

LCM = 29040833136/292

LCM = 99454908

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,331,146,876 is 99454908.
