Given numbers are 748,704,952,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 748,704,952,986 is 2429504.
Find LCM of 748,704,952,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 748, 704, 952, 986 |
| 2 | 374, 352, 476, 493 |
| 2 | 187, 176, 238, 493 |
| 11 | 187, 88, 119, 493 |
| 17 | 17, 8, 119, 493 |
| 1, 8, 7, 29 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 17 x 1 x 8 x 7 x 29 = 2429504
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 748,704,952,986 is 2429504.
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.
748 x 704 x 952 x 986 = 494297165824
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.
748 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748
704 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 64, 88, 176, 352, 704
952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 748,704,952,986, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
748:2x 2x 11x 17
704:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 11
952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17
986:2x 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.
2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 11x 17x 17 = 101728
Therefore, the value for common factors is 101728.
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 = 494297165824/(2x101728)
LCM = 494297165824/203456
LCM = 2429504
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 748,704,952,986 is 2429504.
