The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 474,6478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,6478) = 158
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,6478) x common factors =158 x 1 = 158
LCM(474,6478) = ( 474 × 6478 ) / 158
LCM(474,6478) = 3070572 / 158
LCM(474,6478) = 19434
