Given numbers are 738,734,780,686

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

The LCM of 738,734,780,686 is 12077023140.

Find LCM of 738,734,780,686 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 123 x 367 x 130 x 343 = 12077023140

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 738,734,780,686 is 12077023140.

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.

738 x 734 x 780 x 686 = 289848555360

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.

738 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738

734 : 1, 2, 367, 734

780 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 20, 26, 30, 39, 52, 60, 65, 78, 130, 156, 195, 260, 390, 780

686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 738,734,780,686, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

738:2x 3x 3x 41

734:2x 367

780:2x 2x 3x 5x 13

686:2x 7x 7x 7

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2x 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 289848555360/(2x12)

LCM = 289848555360/24

LCM = 12077023140

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 738,734,780,686 is 12077023140.
