Given numbers are 428,548,946,724
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 428,548,946,724 is 5020003868.
Find LCM of 428,548,946,724 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 428, 548, 946, 724 |
| 2 | 214, 274, 473, 362 |
| 107, 137, 473, 181 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 107 x 137 x 473 x 181 = 5020003868
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 428,548,946,724 is 5020003868.
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.
428 x 548 x 946 x 724 = 160640123776
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.
428 : 1, 2, 4, 107, 214, 428
548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
724 : 1, 2, 4, 181, 362, 724
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 428,548,946,724, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
428:2x 2x 107
548:2x 2x 137
946:2x 11x 43
724:2x 2x 181
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 2 = 16
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.
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 = 160640123776/(2x16)
LCM = 160640123776/32
LCM = 5020003868
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 428,548,946,724 is 5020003868.
