Given numbers are 481,596,284
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 481,596,284 is 20353996.
Find LCM of 481,596,284 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 481, 596, 284 |
| 2 | 481, 298, 142 |
| 481, 149, 71 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 481 x 149 x 71 = 20353996
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 481,596,284 is 20353996.
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.
481 x 596 x 284 = 81415984
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.
481 : 1, 13, 37, 481
596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596
284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 481,596,284, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
481:13x 37
596:2x 2x 149
284:2x 2x 71
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 81415984/(1x4)
LCM = 81415984/4
LCM = 20353996
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 481,596,284 is 20353996.
