Given numbers are 468,984,240,212
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 468,984,240,212 is 20339280.
Find LCM of 468,984,240,212 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 468, 984, 240, 212 |
| 2 | 234, 492, 120, 106 |
| 2 | 117, 246, 60, 53 |
| 3 | 117, 123, 30, 53 |
| 39, 41, 10, 53 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 39 x 41 x 10 x 53 = 20339280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 468,984,240,212 is 20339280.
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 984 x 240 x 212 = 23430850560
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
984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
212 : 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 468,984,240,212, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
212:2x 2x 53
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 2x 2x 2x 3x 3 = 288
Therefore, the value for common factors is 288.
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 = 23430850560/(4x288)
LCM = 23430850560/1152
LCM = 20339280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 468,984,240,212 is 20339280.
