Given numbers are 478,717,261,251
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 478,717,261,251 is 31314258.
Find LCM of 478,717,261,251 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 478, 717, 261, 251 |
| 239 | 478, 239, 87, 251 |
| 2, 1, 87, 251 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 239 x 2 x 1 x 87 x 251 = 31314258
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 478,717,261,251 is 31314258.
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 717 x 261 x 251 = 22452322986
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
717 : 1, 3, 239, 717
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
251 : 1, 251
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 478,717,261,251, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
478:2x 239
717:3x 239
261:3x 3x 29
251:251
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 239 = 717
Therefore, the value for common factors is 717.
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 = 22452322986/(1x717)
LCM = 22452322986/717
LCM = 31314258
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 478,717,261,251 is 31314258.
