Given numbers are 430,172,720,998
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 430,172,720,998 is 15449040.
Find LCM of 430,172,720,998 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 430, 172, 720, 998 |
| 2 | 215, 86, 360, 499 |
| 5 | 215, 43, 180, 499 |
| 43 | 43, 43, 36, 499 |
| 1, 1, 36, 499 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 43 x 1 x 1 x 36 x 499 = 15449040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 430,172,720,998 is 15449040.
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.
430 x 172 x 720 x 998 = 53144697600
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.
430 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 43, 86, 215, 430
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720
998 : 1, 2, 499, 998
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 430,172,720,998, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
430:2x 5x 43
172:2x 2x 43
720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
998:2x 499
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 5x 43 = 1720
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1720.
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 = 53144697600/(2x1720)
LCM = 53144697600/3440
LCM = 15449040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 430,172,720,998 is 15449040.
