So, the LCM of 466, 471 is 219486.

One method for determining the LCM of 466 and 471 is to compare the prime factorization of each number. You can find the prime factorization for each number by following the instructions below:

Here is 466's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 466 are 2,233.

466 = 2¹×233¹

And this is 471's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 471 are 3,157.

471 = 3¹×157¹

When comparing the prime factorization of these two numbers, look for the highest power to which each prime factor is raised. In this case, the following primary factors must be considered: 2,233, 3,157

2¹×3¹×157¹×233¹ = 219486

This shows that the LCM of 466 and 471 is 219486.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 466 and 471 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 466 and 471:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 466 and 471:

466,932,1398,1864,2330,2796,3262,3728,4194,7922 are the first ten multiples of 466.

471,942,1413,1884,2355,2826,3297,3768,4239,8007 are the first ten multiples of 471.

You can continue to list the multiples of these numbers until you find a match. Once you have found a match, or several matches, the Least Common Multiple is the smallest of these matches. The first matching multiple(s) of 466 and 471, for example, are 5592, 7922, and 7536. 219486 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

466 and 471 have an LCM of 219486.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 466 and 471, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(466,471) = 1
LCM(466,471) = ( 466 × 471) / 1
LCM(466,471) = 219486 / 1
LCM(466,471) = 219486
