Given numbers are 461,956,172,317
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 461,956,172,317 is 6007399796.
Find LCM of 461,956,172,317 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 461, 956, 172, 317 |
| 2 | 461, 478, 86, 317 |
| 461, 239, 43, 317 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 461 x 239 x 43 x 317 = 6007399796
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 461,956,172,317 is 6007399796.
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 956 x 172 x 317 = 24029599184
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
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
317 : 1, 317
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 461,956,172,317, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
461:461
956:2x 2x 239
172:2x 2x 43
317:317
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 = 24029599184/(1x4)
LCM = 24029599184/4
LCM = 6007399796
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 461,956,172,317 is 6007399796.
