Given numbers are 461,185,208,284

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 461,185,208,284 is 1259488880.

Find LCM of 461,185,208,284 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 461 x 185 x 52 x 71 = 1259488880

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 461,185,208,284 is 1259488880.

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.

461 x 185 x 208 x 284 = 5037955520

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.

461 : 1, 461

185 : 1, 5, 37, 185

208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 461,185,208,284, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

461:461

185:5x 37

208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13

284:2x 2x 71

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 5037955520/(1x4)

LCM = 5037955520/4

LCM = 1259488880

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 461,185,208,284 is 1259488880.
