Given numbers are 480,940,771,478

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

The LCM of 480,940,771,478 is 1385702880.

Find LCM of 480,940,771,478 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 8 x 47 x 257 x 239 = 1385702880

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 480,940,771,478 is 1385702880.

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 940 x 771 x 478 = 166284345600

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

940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940

771 : 1, 3, 257, 771

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 480,940,771,478, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

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

940:2x 2x 5x 47

771:3x 257

478:2x 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 2x 2x 3x 5 = 120

Therefore, the value for common factors is 120.

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 = 166284345600/(1x120)

LCM = 166284345600/120

LCM = 1385702880

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 480,940,771,478 is 1385702880.
