Given numbers are 478,429,142,284

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

The LCM of 478,429,142,284 is 29118804.

Find LCM of 478,429,142,284 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 71 x 239 x 429 x 1 x 2 = 29118804

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 478,429,142,284 is 29118804.

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.

478 x 429 x 142 x 284 = 8269740336

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.

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429

142 : 1, 2, 71, 142

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 478,429,142,284, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

478:2x 239

429:3x 11x 13

142:2x 71

284:2x 2x 71

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 71 = 284

Therefore, the value for common factors is 284.

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 = 8269740336/(1x284)

LCM = 8269740336/284

LCM = 29118804

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 478,429,142,284 is 29118804.
