Given numbers are 478,955,473,956

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

The LCM of 478,955,473,956 is 431839540.

Find LCM of 478,955,473,956 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 239 x 1 x 955 x 473 x 2 = 431839540

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 478,955,473,956 is 431839540.

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 955 x 473 x 956 = 206419300120

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

955 : 1, 5, 191, 955

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 478,955,473,956, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

478:2x 239

955:5x 191

473:11x 43

956:2x 2x 239

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

2x 239 = 478

Therefore, the value for common factors is 478.

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 = 206419300120/(1x478)

LCM = 206419300120/478

LCM = 431839540

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 478,955,473,956 is 431839540.
