The LCM of 429,260,946,438 is 26932620.
Find LCM of 429,260,946,438 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 429, 260, 946, 438 |
| 3 | 429, 130, 473, 219 |
| 11 | 143, 130, 473, 73 |
| 13 | 13, 130, 43, 73 |
| 1, 10, 43, 73 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 13 x 1 x 10 x 43 x 73 = 26932620
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 429,260,946,438 is 26932620.
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.
429 x 260 x 946 x 438 = 46216375920
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.
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 429,260,946,438, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
429:3x 11x 13
260:2x 2x 5x 13
946:2x 11x 43
438:2x 3x 73
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 3x 11x 13 = 1716
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1716.
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 = 46216375920/(1x1716)
LCM = 46216375920/1716
LCM = 26932620
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 429,260,946,438 is 26932620.
