Given numbers are 485,748,957,261
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 485,748,957,261 is 94685580.
Find LCM of 485,748,957,261 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 485, 748, 957, 261 |
| 11 | 485, 748, 319, 87 |
| 29 | 485, 68, 29, 87 |
| 485, 68, 1, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 11 x 29 x 485 x 68 x 1 x 3 = 94685580
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 485,748,957,261 is 94685580.
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.
485 x 748 x 957 x 261 = 90614100060
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.
485 : 1, 5, 97, 485
748 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 485,748,957,261, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
485:5x 97
748:2x 2x 11x 17
957:3x 11x 29
261:3x 3x 29
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 11x 29 = 957
Therefore, the value for common factors is 957.
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 = 90614100060/(1x957)
LCM = 90614100060/957
LCM = 94685580
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 485,748,957,261 is 94685580.
