Given numbers are 466,493,972

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

The LCM of 466,493,972 is 111652668.

Find LCM of 466,493,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 233 x 493 x 486 = 111652668

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 466,493,972 is 111652668.

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 493 x 972 = 223305336

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

493 : 1, 17, 29, 493

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 466,493,972, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

466:2x 233

493:17x 29

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 223305336/(1x2)

LCM = 223305336/2

LCM = 111652668

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 466,493,972 is 111652668.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 954, 108, 808
