How to Find LCD of 478,120,942 ?

Given numbers are 478,120,942

We can find the LCD of numbers 478,120,942 by the prime factorization method or by applying the LCD formula.

The LCD of 478,120,942 is 4502760.

Method to Find Least Common Denominator of 478,120,942 with Prime Factorization

2	478, 120, 942
3	239, 60, 471
	239, 20, 157

As you can see, now we have to multiply the prime numbers on the left side with the co-primes at the bottom.
2 x 3 x 239 x 20 x 157 = 4502760

Thus, we have determined that the LCD of 478,120,942 is 4502760

LCD Formula to Find LCD of 478,120,942

The LCD formula is LCD(a,b) = ( a x b) / GCF(a,b)

Step1:

Find the GCF of 478 and 120. To find the GCF, list down the factors of 478 and 120 and select the highest factor that appears in both lists of factors.

478 : [1, 2, 239, 478]

120 : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120]

From this, we can see that the GCF of 478 and 120 is 2.

Now, put this into the LCD formula.

LCD(478, 120) = ( 478 x 120 ) / 2

LCD(478, 120) = 57360 / 2

LCD(478, 120) = 28680

Step2:

Find the GCF of 28680 and 942. To find the GCF, list down the factors of 28680 and 942 and select the highest factor that appears in both lists of factors.

28680 : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120, 239, 478, 717, 956, 1195, 1434, 1912, 2390, 2868, 3585, 4780, 5736, 7170, 9560, 14340, 28680]

942 : [1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942]

From this, we can see that the GCF of 28680 and 942 is 6.

Now, put this into the LCD formula.

LCD(28680, 942) = ( 28680 x 942 ) / 6

LCD(28680, 942) = 27016560 / 6

LCD(28680, 942) = 4502760

LCD of 478,120,942 is 4502760
