Given numbers are 487,974,862,882
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 487,974,862,882 is 185129154.
Find LCM of 487,974,862,882 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 487, 974, 862, 882 |
| 487 | 487, 487, 431, 441 |
| 1, 1, 431, 441 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 487 x 1 x 1 x 431 x 441 = 185129154
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 487,974,862,882 is 185129154.
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 974 x 862 x 882 = 360631591992
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
974 : 1, 2, 487, 974
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
882 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 49, 63, 98, 126, 147, 294, 441, 882
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 487,974,862,882, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
487:487
974:2x 487
862:2x 431
882:2x 3x 3x 7x 7
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 487 = 1948
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1948.
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 = 360631591992/(1x1948)
LCM = 360631591992/1948
LCM = 185129154
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 487,974,862,882 is 185129154.
