Given numbers are 486,119,561,878
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 486,119,561,878 is 279280386.
Find LCM of 486,119,561,878 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 486, 119, 561, 878 |
| 3 | 243, 119, 561, 439 |
| 17 | 81, 119, 187, 439 |
| 81, 7, 11, 439 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 17 x 81 x 7 x 11 x 439 = 279280386
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 486,119,561,878 is 279280386.
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.
486 x 119 x 561 x 878 = 28486599372
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.
486 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486
119 : 1, 7, 17, 119
561 : 1, 3, 11, 17, 33, 51, 187, 561
878 : 1, 2, 439, 878
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 486,119,561,878, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
119:7x 17
561:3x 11x 17
878:2x 439
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 17 = 102
Therefore, the value for common factors is 102.
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 = 28486599372/(1x102)
LCM = 28486599372/102
LCM = 279280386
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 486,119,561,878 is 279280386.
