Given numbers are 468,661,391,442
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 468,661,391,442 is 120955068.
Find LCM of 468,661,391,442 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 468, 661, 391, 442 |
| 13 | 234, 661, 391, 221 |
| 17 | 18, 661, 391, 17 |
| 18, 661, 23, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 17 x 18 x 661 x 23 x 1 = 120955068
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 468,661,391,442 is 120955068.
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.
468 x 661 x 391 x 442 = 53462140056
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.
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
661 : 1, 661
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 468,661,391,442, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
661:661
391:17x 23
442:2x 13x 17
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 13x 17 = 442
Therefore, the value for common factors is 442.
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 = 53462140056/(1x442)
LCM = 53462140056/442
LCM = 120955068
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 468,661,391,442 is 120955068.
