Given numbers are 861,960,986,696
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 861,960,986,696 is 135831360.
Find LCM of 861,960,986,696 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 861, 960, 986, 696 |
| 2 | 861, 480, 493, 348 |
| 2 | 861, 240, 493, 174 |
| 3 | 861, 120, 493, 87 |
| 29 | 287, 40, 493, 29 |
| 287, 40, 17, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 29 x 287 x 40 x 17 x 1 = 135831360
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 861,960,986,696 is 135831360.
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.
861 x 960 x 986 x 696 = 567231759360
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.
861 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861
960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
696 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 861,960,986,696, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
861:3x 7x 41
960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
986:2x 17x 29
696:2x 2x 2x 3x 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 3x 3x 29 = 4176
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4176.
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 = 567231759360/(1x4176)
LCM = 567231759360/4176
LCM = 135831360
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 861,960,986,696 is 135831360.
