Given numbers are 470,492,986,959
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 470,492,986,959 is 54663632940.
Find LCM of 470,492,986,959 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 470, 492, 986, 959 |
| 235, 246, 493, 959 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 235 x 246 x 493 x 959 = 54663632940
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 470,492,986,959 is 54663632940.
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 492 x 986 x 959 = 218654531760
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
492 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 470,492,986,959, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
470:2x 5x 47
492:2x 2x 3x 41
986:2x 17x 29
959:7x 137
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 218654531760/(1x4)
LCM = 218654531760/4
LCM = 54663632940
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 470,492,986,959 is 54663632940.
