Given numbers are 479,489,978,255
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 479,489,978,255 is 39819270.
Find LCM of 479,489,978,255 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 479, 489, 978, 255 |
| 163 | 479, 163, 326, 85 |
| 479, 1, 2, 85 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 163 x 479 x 1 x 2 x 85 = 39819270
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 479,489,978,255 is 39819270.
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.
479 x 489 x 978 x 255 = 58414869090
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.
479 : 1, 479
489 : 1, 3, 163, 489
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
255 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 479,489,978,255, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
479:479
489:3x 163
978:2x 3x 163
255:3x 5x 17
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 163 = 1467
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1467.
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 = 58414869090/(1x1467)
LCM = 58414869090/1467
LCM = 39819270
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 479,489,978,255 is 39819270.
