Find LCM of 686,847,957,478,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 686, 847, 957, 478, 956 |
| 7 | 343, 847, 957, 239, 478 |
| 11 | 49, 121, 957, 239, 478 |
| 239 | 49, 11, 87, 239, 478 |
| 49, 11, 87, 1, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 11 x 239 x 49 x 11 x 87 x 1 x 2 = 3451887516
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,847,957,478,956 is 3451887516.
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 847 x 957 x 478 x 956 = 254100343827792
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
847 : 1, 7, 11, 77, 121, 847
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
478 : 1, 2, 239, 478
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,847,957,478,956, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
686:2x 7x 7x 7
847:7x 11x 11
957:3x 11x 29
478:2x 239
956:2x 2x 239
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 7x 11x 239 = 73612
Therefore, the value for common factors is 73612.
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 = 254100343827792/(1x73612)
LCM = 254100343827792/73612
LCM = 3451887516
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,847,957,478,956 is 3451887516.
