Given numbers are 477,471,482,480

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

The LCM of 477,471,482,480 is 2887719840.

Find LCM of 477,471,482,480 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 159 x 157 x 241 x 80 = 2887719840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 477,471,482,480 is 2887719840.

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.

477 x 471 x 482 x 480 = 51978957120

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.

477 : 1, 3, 9, 53, 159, 477

471 : 1, 3, 157, 471

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 477,471,482,480, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

477:3x 3x 53

471:3x 157

482:2x 241

480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 3x 3 = 18

Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.

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 = 51978957120/(1x18)

LCM = 51978957120/18

LCM = 2887719840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 477,471,482,480 is 2887719840.
