Given numbers are 491,347,338,740

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

The LCM of 491,347,338,740 is 21307347620.

Find LCM of 491,347,338,740 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 491 x 347 x 169 x 370 = 21307347620

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 491,347,338,740 is 21307347620.

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.

491 x 347 x 338 x 740 = 42614695240

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.

491 : 1, 491

347 : 1, 347

338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338

740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 491,347,338,740, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

491:491

347:347

338:2x 13x 13

740:2x 2x 5x 37

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 42614695240/(1x2)

LCM = 42614695240/2

LCM = 21307347620

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 491,347,338,740 is 21307347620.
