Given numbers are 480,887,660,968,506

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

The LCM of 480,887,660,968,506 is 1184890080.

Find LCM of 480,887,660,968,506 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 11 x 4 x 887 x 1 x 11 x 23 = 1184890080

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 480,887,660,968,506 is 1184890080.

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.

480 x 887 x 660 x 968 x 506 = 137636831692800

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.

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

887 : 1, 887

660 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 480,887,660,968,506, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

887:887

660:2x 2x 3x 5x 11

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

506:2x 11x 23

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 11x 11 = 116160

Therefore, the value for common factors is 116160.

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 = 137636831692800/(1x116160)

LCM = 137636831692800/116160

LCM = 1184890080

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 480,887,660,968,506 is 1184890080.
