Given numbers are 470,301,256,846
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 470,301,256,846 is 162973440.
Find LCM of 470,301,256,846 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 470, 301, 256, 846 |
| 47 | 235, 301, 128, 423 |
| 5, 301, 128, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 47 x 5 x 301 x 128 x 9 = 162973440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 470,301,256,846 is 162973440.
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.
470 x 301 x 256 x 846 = 30639006720
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.
470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470
301 : 1, 7, 43, 301
256 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 470,301,256,846, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
470:2x 5x 47
301:7x 43
256:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2
846:2x 3x 3x 47
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 47 = 188
Therefore, the value for common factors is 188.
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 = 30639006720/(1x188)
LCM = 30639006720/188
LCM = 162973440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 470,301,256,846 is 162973440.
