Given numbers are 481,946,424,978,879
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 481,946,424,978,879 is 13821289162824.
Find LCM of 481,946,424,978,879 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 481, 946, 424, 978, 879 |
| 3 | 481, 473, 212, 489, 879 |
| 481, 473, 212, 163, 293 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 481 x 473 x 212 x 163 x 293 = 13821289162824
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 481,946,424,978,879 is 13821289162824.
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 946 x 424 x 978 x 879 = 165855469953888
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
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
879 : 1, 3, 293, 879
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 481,946,424,978,879, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
481:13x 37
946:2x 11x 43
424:2x 2x 2x 53
978:2x 3x 163
879:3x 293
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 165855469953888/(1x12)
LCM = 165855469953888/12
LCM = 13821289162824
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 481,946,424,978,879 is 13821289162824.
