We present a first-principles lattice QCD+QED calculation at physical pion mass of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to muon anomalous magnetic moment. The total up, down, strange, and charm quarks including QED strong isospin breaking effects is a_{μ}^{HVP LO}=715.4(18.7)×10^{-10}. By supplementing data for very short long distances with R-ratio data, we significantly improve precision LO}=692.5(2.7)×10^{-10}. This currently most precise determination LO}.
