One method for determining the LCM of 472 and 479 is to compare the prime factorization of each number. You can find the prime factorization for each number by following the instructions below:

Here is 472's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 472 are 2,59.

472 = 2³×59¹

And this is 479's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 479 are 479.

479 = 479¹

When comparing the prime factorization of these two numbers, look for the highest power to which each prime factor is raised. In this case, the following primary factors must be considered: 2,59,479

2³×59¹×479¹ = 226088

This shows that the LCM of 472 and 479 is 226088.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 472 and 479 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 472 and 479:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 472 and 479:

472,944,1416,1888,2360,2832,3304,3776,4248,8024 are the first ten multiples of 472.

479,958,1437,1916,2395,2874,3353,3832,4311,8143 are the first ten multiples of 479.

You can continue to list the multiples of these numbers until you find a match. Once you have found a match, or several matches, the Least Common Multiple is the smallest of these matches. The first matching multiple(s) of 472 and 479, for example, are 5664, 8024, and 7664. 226088 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

472 and 479 have an LCM of 226088.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 472 and 479, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(472,479) = 1
LCM(472,479) = ( 472 × 479) / 1
LCM(472,479) = 226088 / 1
LCM(472,479) = 226088
