Given numbers are 372,360,480,271
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 372,360,480,271 is 12097440.
Find LCM of 372,360,480,271 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 372, 360, 480, 271 |
| 2 | 186, 180, 240, 271 |
| 2 | 93, 90, 120, 271 |
| 3 | 93, 45, 60, 271 |
| 5 | 31, 15, 20, 271 |
| 31, 3, 4, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 31 x 3 x 4 x 271 = 12097440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 372,360,480,271 is 12097440.
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.
372 x 360 x 480 x 271 = 17420313600
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.
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
360 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480
271 : 1, 271
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 372,360,480,271, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
372:2x 2x 3x 31
360:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
271:271
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 2x 3x 3x 5 = 1440
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1440.
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 = 17420313600/(1x1440)
LCM = 17420313600/1440
LCM = 12097440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 372,360,480,271 is 12097440.
