Given numbers are 492,948,237,579
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 492,948,237,579 is 7501524.
Find LCM of 492,948,237,579 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 492, 948, 237, 579 |
| 2 | 246, 474, 237, 579 |
| 3 | 123, 237, 237, 579 |
| 79 | 41, 79, 79, 193 |
| 41, 1, 1, 193 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 79 x 41 x 1 x 1 x 193 = 7501524
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 492,948,237,579 is 7501524.
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 948 x 237 x 579 = 64003002768
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
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
237 : 1, 3, 79, 237
579 : 1, 3, 193, 579
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 492,948,237,579, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
492:2x 2x 3x 41
948:2x 2x 3x 79
237:3x 79
579:3x 193
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 3x 79 = 2844
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2844.
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 = 64003002768/(3x2844)
LCM = 64003002768/8532
LCM = 7501524
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 492,948,237,579 is 7501524.
