Given numbers are 492,684,873
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 492,684,873 is 2720268.
Find LCM of 492,684,873 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 492, 684, 873 |
| 2 | 246, 342, 873 |
| 3 | 123, 171, 873 |
| 3 | 41, 57, 291 |
| 41, 19, 97 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 41 x 19 x 97 = 2720268
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 492,684,873 is 2720268.
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.
492 x 684 x 873 = 293788944
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.
492 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492
684 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 36, 38, 57, 76, 114, 171, 228, 342, 684
873 : 1, 3, 9, 97, 291, 873
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 492,684,873, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
492:2x 2x 3x 41
684:2x 2x 3x 3x 19
873:3x 3x 97
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 3x 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 293788944/(3x36)
LCM = 293788944/108
LCM = 2720268
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 492,684,873 is 2720268.
