Given numbers are 462,344,638,473
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 462,344,638,473 is 2304456.
Find LCM of 462,344,638,473 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 462, 344, 638, 473 |
| 11 | 231, 172, 319, 473 |
| 43 | 21, 172, 29, 43 |
| 21, 4, 29, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 43 x 21 x 4 x 29 x 1 = 2304456
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 462,344,638,473 is 2304456.
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.
462 x 344 x 638 x 473 = 47960338272
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.
462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462
344 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, 344
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
473 : 1, 11, 43, 473
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 462,344,638,473, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
462:2x 3x 7x 11
344:2x 2x 2x 43
638:2x 11x 29
473:11x 43
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 11x 11x 43 = 20812
Therefore, the value for common factors is 20812.
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 = 47960338272/(1x20812)
LCM = 47960338272/20812
LCM = 2304456
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 462,344,638,473 is 2304456.
