Given numbers are 472,979,489,72

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

The LCM of 472,979,489,72 is 677883096.

Find LCM of 472,979,489,72 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 59 x 979 x 163 x 3 = 677883096

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 472,979,489,72 is 677883096.

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 979 x 489 x 72 = 16269194304

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

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

489 : 1, 3, 163, 489

72 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 472,979,489,72, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

472:2x 2x 2x 59

979:11x 89

489:3x 163

72:2x 2x 2x 3x 3

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 16269194304/(1x24)

LCM = 16269194304/24

LCM = 677883096

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 472,979,489,72 is 677883096.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 185, 500, 547, 42
