Given numbers are 687,338,611,520
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 687,338,611,520 is 218273640.
Find LCM of 687,338,611,520 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 687, 338, 611, 520 |
| 13 | 687, 169, 611, 260 |
| 687, 13, 47, 20 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 687 x 13 x 47 x 20 = 218273640
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 687,338,611,520 is 218273640.
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.
687 x 338 x 611 x 520 = 73776490320
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.
687 : 1, 3, 229, 687
338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338
611 : 1, 13, 47, 611
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 687,338,611,520, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
687:3x 229
338:2x 13x 13
611:13x 47
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 13x 13 = 338
Therefore, the value for common factors is 338.
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 = 73776490320/(1x338)
LCM = 73776490320/338
LCM = 218273640
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 687,338,611,520 is 218273640.
