Given numbers are 472,378,826,280
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 472,378,826,280 is 446040.
Find LCM of 472,378,826,280 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 472, 378, 826, 280 |
| 2 | 236, 189, 413, 140 |
| 2 | 118, 189, 413, 70 |
| 7 | 59, 189, 413, 35 |
| 59 | 59, 27, 59, 5 |
| 1, 27, 1, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 59 x 1 x 27 x 1 x 5 = 446040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 472,378,826,280 is 446040.
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.
472 x 378 x 826 x 280 = 41264052480
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.
472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472
378 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378
826 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 59, 118, 413, 826
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 472,378,826,280, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
472:2x 2x 2x 59
378:2x 3x 3x 3x 7
826:2x 7x 59
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
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 7x 7x 59 = 46256
Therefore, the value for common factors is 46256.
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 = 41264052480/(2x46256)
LCM = 41264052480/92512
LCM = 446040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 472,378,826,280 is 446040.
