Given numbers are 686,437,946,159

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

The LCM of 686,437,946,159 is 22545704874.

Find LCM of 686,437,946,159 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 343 x 437 x 473 x 159 = 22545704874

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,437,946,159 is 22545704874.

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 437 x 946 x 159 = 45091409748

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

437 : 1, 19, 23, 437

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,437,946,159, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

686:2x 7x 7x 7

437:19x 23

946:2x 11x 43

159:3x 53

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 45091409748/(1x2)

LCM = 45091409748/2

LCM = 22545704874

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,437,946,159 is 22545704874.
