Given numbers are 460,304,972,266
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 460,304,972,266 is 59466960.
Find LCM of 460,304,972,266 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 460, 304, 972, 266 |
| 2 | 230, 152, 486, 133 |
| 19 | 115, 76, 243, 133 |
| 115, 4, 243, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 19 x 115 x 4 x 243 x 7 = 59466960
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 460,304,972,266 is 59466960.
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.
460 x 304 x 972 x 266 = 36155911680
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.
460 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 46, 92, 115, 230, 460
304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 460,304,972,266, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
460:2x 2x 5x 23
304:2x 2x 2x 2x 19
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
266:2x 7x 19
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 2x 19 = 304
Therefore, the value for common factors is 304.
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 = 36155911680/(2x304)
LCM = 36155911680/608
LCM = 59466960
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 460,304,972,266 is 59466960.
