Given numbers are 473,972,993,281,980

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

The LCM of 473,972,993,281,980 is 10476779502420.

Find LCM of 473,972,993,281,980 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 473 x 81 x 331 x 281 x 245 = 10476779502420

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 473,972,993,281,980 is 10476779502420.

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.

473 x 972 x 993 x 281 x 980 = 125721354029040

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.

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

993 : 1, 3, 331, 993

281 : 1, 281

980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 473,972,993,281,980, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

473:11x 43

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

993:3x 331

281:281

980:2x 2x 5x 7x 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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 125721354029040/(1x12)

LCM = 125721354029040/12

LCM = 10476779502420

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 473,972,993,281,980 is 10476779502420.
