Given numbers are 471,989,497,284,251

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

The LCM of 471,989,497,284,251 is 232438091172.

Find LCM of 471,989,497,284,251 with Prime Factorization

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

71 x 471 x 989 x 7 x 4 x 251 = 232438091172

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 471,989,497,284,251 is 232438091172.

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 989 x 497 x 284 x 251 = 16503104473212

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

989 : 1, 23, 43, 989

497 : 1, 7, 71, 497

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

251 : 1, 251

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 471,989,497,284,251, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

471:3x 157

989:23x 43

497:7x 71

284:2x 2x 71

251:251

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

71 = 71

Therefore, the value for common factors is 71.

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 = 16503104473212/(1x71)

LCM = 16503104473212/71

LCM = 232438091172

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 471,989,497,284,251 is 232438091172.
