Given numbers are 686,614,422,957

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

The LCM of 686,614,422,957 is 42526230054.

Find LCM of 686,614,422,957 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 343 x 307 x 211 x 957 = 42526230054

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,614,422,957 is 42526230054.

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 614 x 422 x 957 = 170104920216

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

614 : 1, 2, 307, 614

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,614,422,957, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

686:2x 7x 7x 7

614:2x 307

422:2x 211

957:3x 11x 29

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 170104920216/(1x4)

LCM = 170104920216/4

LCM = 42526230054

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,614,422,957 is 42526230054.
