Given numbers are 688,234,226,877

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

The LCM of 688,234,226,877 is 7977234096.

Find LCM of 688,234,226,877 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 344 x 117 x 113 x 877 = 7977234096

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 688,234,226,877 is 7977234096.

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.

688 x 234 x 226 x 877 = 31908936384

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.

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234

226 : 1, 2, 113, 226

877 : 1, 877

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 688,234,226,877, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

234:2x 3x 3x 13

226:2x 113

877:877

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 = 31908936384/(1x4)

LCM = 31908936384/4

LCM = 7977234096

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 688,234,226,877 is 7977234096.
