Given numbers are 466,471,786,942
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 466,471,786,942 is 28752666.
Find LCM of 466,471,786,942 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 466, 471, 786, 942 |
| 3 | 233, 471, 393, 471 |
| 157 | 233, 157, 131, 157 |
| 233, 1, 131, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 157 x 233 x 1 x 131 x 1 = 28752666
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 466,471,786,942 is 28752666.
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.
466 x 471 x 786 x 942 = 162510068232
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.
466 : 1, 2, 233, 466
471 : 1, 3, 157, 471
786 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 466,471,786,942, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
466:2x 233
471:3x 157
786:2x 3x 131
942:2x 3x 157
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 3x 157 = 5652
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5652.
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 = 162510068232/(1x5652)
LCM = 162510068232/5652
LCM = 28752666
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 466,471,786,942 is 28752666.
