Given numbers are 856,687,381,508
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 856,687,381,508 is 74685144.
Find LCM of 856,687,381,508 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 856, 687, 381, 508 |
| 2 | 428, 687, 381, 254 |
| 3 | 214, 687, 381, 127 |
| 127 | 214, 229, 127, 127 |
| 214, 229, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 127 x 214 x 229 x 1 x 1 = 74685144
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 856,687,381,508 is 74685144.
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.
856 x 687 x 381 x 508 = 113820159456
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.
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
687 : 1, 3, 229, 687
381 : 1, 3, 127, 381
508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 856,687,381,508, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
856:2x 2x 2x 107
687:3x 229
381:3x 127
508:2x 2x 127
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 3x 127 = 1524
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1524.
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 = 113820159456/(1x1524)
LCM = 113820159456/1524
LCM = 74685144
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 856,687,381,508 is 74685144.
