The LCM of 432,846,717,956 is 4852656.
Find LCM of 432,846,717,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 432, 846, 717, 956 |
| 2 | 216, 423, 717, 478 |
| 3 | 108, 423, 717, 239 |
| 3 | 36, 141, 239, 239 |
| 239 | 12, 47, 239, 239 |
| 12, 47, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 239 x 12 x 47 x 1 x 1 = 4852656
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 432,846,717,956 is 4852656.
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.
432 x 846 x 717 x 956 = 250513513344
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.
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
717 : 1, 3, 239, 717
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 432,846,717,956, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
846:2x 3x 3x 47
717:3x 239
956:2x 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 3x 3x 239 = 51624
Therefore, the value for common factors is 51624.
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 = 250513513344/(1x51624)
LCM = 250513513344/51624
LCM = 4852656
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 432,846,717,956 is 4852656.
