Given numbers are 491,468,221,286
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 491,468,221,286 is 42970356.
Find LCM of 491,468,221,286 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 491, 468, 221, 286 |
| 13 | 491, 234, 221, 143 |
| 491, 18, 17, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 491 x 18 x 17 x 11 = 42970356
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 491,468,221,286 is 42970356.
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 468 x 221 x 286 = 14523980328
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
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 491,468,221,286, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
491:491
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
221:13x 17
286:2x 11x 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 13x 13 = 338
Therefore, the value for common factors is 338.
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 = 14523980328/(1x338)
LCM = 14523980328/338
LCM = 42970356
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 491,468,221,286 is 42970356.
