Given numbers are 468,731,878

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

The LCM of 468,731,878 is 150185412.

Find LCM of 468,731,878 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 234 x 731 x 439 = 150185412

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 468,731,878 is 150185412.

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 731 x 878 = 300370824

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

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 468,731,878, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13

731:17x 43

878:2x 439

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 = 300370824/(1x2)

LCM = 300370824/2

LCM = 150185412

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 468,731,878 is 150185412.
