Given numbers are 471,140,372,342,260
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 471,140,372,342,260 is 1514707740.
Find LCM of 471,140,372,342,260 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 471, 140, 372, 342, 260 |
| 2 | 471, 70, 186, 171, 130 |
| 3 | 471, 35, 93, 171, 65 |
| 5 | 157, 35, 31, 57, 65 |
| 157, 7, 31, 57, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 157 x 7 x 31 x 57 x 13 = 1514707740
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 471,140,372,342,260 is 1514707740.
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.
471 x 140 x 372 x 342 x 260 = 2181179145600
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.
471 : 1, 3, 157, 471
140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 471,140,372,342,260, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
471:3x 157
140:2x 2x 5x 7
372:2x 2x 3x 31
342:2x 3x 3x 19
260:2x 2x 5x 13
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 3x 5 = 1440
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1440.
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 = 2181179145600/(1x1440)
LCM = 2181179145600/1440
LCM = 1514707740
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 471,140,372,342,260 is 1514707740.
