Given numbers are 687,361,872,466

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

The LCM of 687,361,872,466 is 50389070232.

Find LCM of 687,361,872,466 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 687 x 361 x 436 x 233 = 50389070232

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 687,361,872,466 is 50389070232.

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 361 x 872 x 466 = 100778140464

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

361 : 1, 19, 361

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

466 : 1, 2, 233, 466

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 687,361,872,466, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

687:3x 229

361:19x 19

872:2x 2x 2x 109

466:2x 233

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 = 100778140464/(1x2)

LCM = 100778140464/2

LCM = 50389070232

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 687,361,872,466 is 50389070232.
