Given numbers are 474,956,720,844

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

The LCM of 474,956,720,844 is 2868401520.

Find LCM of 474,956,720,844 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 79 x 239 x 60 x 211 = 2868401520

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 474,956,720,844 is 2868401520.

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.

474 x 956 x 720 x 844 = 275366545920

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.

474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720

844 : 1, 2, 4, 211, 422, 844

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 474,956,720,844, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

474:2x 3x 79

956:2x 2x 239

720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5

844:2x 2x 211

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 3 = 48

Therefore, the value for common factors is 48.

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 = 275366545920/(2x48)

LCM = 275366545920/96

LCM = 2868401520

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 474,956,720,844 is 2868401520.
