Given numbers are 487,236,812,480

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 487,236,812,480 is 2799743520.

Find LCM of 487,236,812,480 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 487 x 59 x 203 x 120 = 2799743520

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 487,236,812,480 is 2799743520.

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.

487 x 236 x 812 x 480 = 44795896320

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.

487 : 1, 487

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

812 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 29, 58, 116, 203, 406, 812

480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 487,236,812,480, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

487:487

236:2x 2x 59

812:2x 2x 7x 29

480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 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 2x 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 44795896320/(1x16)

LCM = 44795896320/16

LCM = 2799743520

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 487,236,812,480 is 2799743520.
