Given numbers are 486,187,436,160
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 486,187,436,160 is 792491040.
Find LCM of 486,187,436,160 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 486, 187, 436, 160 |
| 2 | 243, 187, 218, 80 |
| 243, 187, 109, 40 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 243 x 187 x 109 x 40 = 792491040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 486,187,436,160 is 792491040.
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 187 x 436 x 160 = 6339928320
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
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436
160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 486,187,436,160, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
187:11x 17
436:2x 2x 109
160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
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 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 6339928320/(1x8)
LCM = 6339928320/8
LCM = 792491040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 486,187,436,160 is 792491040.
