Given numbers are 480,963,897,872
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 480,963,897,872 is 5021621280.
Find LCM of 480,963,897,872 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 480, 963, 897, 872 |
| 2 | 240, 963, 897, 436 |
| 2 | 120, 963, 897, 218 |
| 3 | 60, 963, 897, 109 |
| 20, 321, 299, 109 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 20 x 321 x 299 x 109 = 5021621280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 480,963,897,872 is 5021621280.
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 963 x 897 x 872 = 361556732160
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
963 : 1, 3, 9, 107, 321, 963
897 : 1, 3, 13, 23, 39, 69, 299, 897
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 480,963,897,872, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
963:3x 3x 107
897:3x 13x 23
872:2x 2x 2x 109
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 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 361556732160/(1x72)
LCM = 361556732160/72
LCM = 5021621280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 480,963,897,872 is 5021621280.
