Given numbers are 731,688,473,493

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

The LCM of 731,688,473,493 is 3731024.

Find LCM of 731,688,473,493 with Prime Factorization

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

17 x 43 x 1 x 16 x 11 x 29 = 3731024

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 731,688,473,493 is 3731024.

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.

731 x 688 x 473 x 493 = 117277277392

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.

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

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

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

493 : 1, 17, 29, 493

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 731,688,473,493, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

731:17x 43

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

473:11x 43

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.

17x 43x 43 = 31433

Therefore, the value for common factors is 31433.

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 = 117277277392/(1x31433)

LCM = 117277277392/31433

LCM = 3731024

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 731,688,473,493 is 3731024.
