Given numbers are 686,964,962,493

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

The LCM of 686,964,962,493 is 78408500716.

Find LCM of 686,964,962,493 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 343 x 482 x 481 x 493 = 78408500716

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 686,964,962,493 is 78408500716.

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 964 x 962 x 493 = 313634002864

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

964 : 1, 2, 4, 241, 482, 964

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

493 : 1, 17, 29, 493

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 686,964,962,493, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

686:2x 7x 7x 7

964:2x 2x 241

962:2x 13x 37

493:17x 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 = 313634002864/(1x4)

LCM = 313634002864/4

LCM = 78408500716

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 686,964,962,493 is 78408500716.
