Given numbers are 486,346,260,845
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 486,346,260,845 is 142091820.
Find LCM of 486,346,260,845 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 486, 346, 260, 845 |
| 5 | 243, 173, 130, 845 |
| 13 | 243, 173, 26, 169 |
| 243, 173, 2, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 13 x 243 x 173 x 2 x 13 = 142091820
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 486,346,260,845 is 142091820.
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 346 x 260 x 845 = 36943873200
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
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
845 : 1, 5, 13, 65, 169, 845
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 486,346,260,845, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
346:2x 173
260:2x 2x 5x 13
845:5x 13x 13
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 5x 13 = 260
Therefore, the value for common factors is 260.
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 = 36943873200/(1x260)
LCM = 36943873200/260
LCM = 142091820
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 486,346,260,845 is 142091820.
