The LCM of 462,594,437,946 is 78132978.
Find LCM of 462,594,437,946 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 462, 594, 437, 946 |
| 3 | 231, 297, 437, 473 |
| 11 | 77, 99, 437, 473 |
| 7, 9, 437, 43 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 7 x 9 x 437 x 43 = 78132978
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 462,594,437,946 is 78132978.
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 594 x 437 x 946 = 113449084056
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
594 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 27, 33, 54, 66, 99, 198, 297, 594
437 : 1, 19, 23, 437
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 462,594,437,946, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
462:2x 3x 7x 11
594:2x 3x 3x 3x 11
437:19x 23
946:2x 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 3x 11x 11 = 1452
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1452.
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 = 113449084056/(1x1452)
LCM = 113449084056/1452
LCM = 78132978
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 462,594,437,946 is 78132978.
