Given numbers are 420,266,224,479,227

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 420,266,224,479,227 is 6941514720.

Find LCM of 420,266,224,479,227 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 7 x 15 x 19 x 8 x 479 x 227 = 6941514720

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,266,224,479,227 is 6941514720.

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.

420 x 266 x 224 x 479 x 227 = 2721073770240

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.

420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420

266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266

224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224

479 : 1, 479

227 : 1, 227

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,266,224,479,227, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7

266:2x 7x 19

224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7

479:479

227:227

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 7x 7 = 392

Therefore, the value for common factors is 392.

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 = 2721073770240/(1x392)

LCM = 2721073770240/392

LCM = 6941514720

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,266,224,479,227 is 6941514720.
