Given numbers are 488,514,438,473

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

The LCM of 488,514,438,473 is 12991467192.

Find LCM of 488,514,438,473 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 244 x 257 x 219 x 473 = 12991467192

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 488,514,438,473 is 12991467192.

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.

488 x 514 x 438 x 473 = 51965868768

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.

488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488

514 : 1, 2, 257, 514

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 488,514,438,473, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

488:2x 2x 2x 61

514:2x 257

438:2x 3x 73

473:11x 43

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 51965868768/(1x4)

LCM = 51965868768/4

LCM = 12991467192

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 488,514,438,473 is 12991467192.
