Given numbers are 402,956,996,478
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 402,956,996,478 is 15948948.
Find LCM of 402,956,996,478 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 402, 956, 996, 478 |
| 2 | 201, 478, 498, 239 |
| 3 | 201, 239, 249, 239 |
| 239 | 67, 239, 83, 239 |
| 67, 1, 83, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 239 x 67 x 1 x 83 x 1 = 15948948
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 402,956,996,478 is 15948948.
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.
402 x 956 x 996 x 478 = 182966331456
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.
402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
996 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
478 : 1, 2, 239, 478
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 402,956,996,478, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
402:2x 3x 67
956:2x 2x 239
996:2x 2x 3x 83
478:2x 239
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 3x 239 = 5736
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5736.
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 = 182966331456/(2x5736)
LCM = 182966331456/11472
LCM = 15948948
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 402,956,996,478 is 15948948.
