Given numbers are 494,860,471,294
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 494,860,471,294 is 4902441180.
Find LCM of 494,860,471,294 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 494, 860, 471, 294 |
| 3 | 247, 430, 471, 147 |
| 247, 430, 157, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 247 x 430 x 157 x 49 = 4902441180
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 494,860,471,294 is 4902441180.
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.
494 x 860 x 471 x 294 = 58829294160
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.
494 : 1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494
860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860
471 : 1, 3, 157, 471
294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 494,860,471,294, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
494:2x 13x 19
860:2x 2x 5x 43
471:3x 157
294:2x 3x 7x 7
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 58829294160/(1x12)
LCM = 58829294160/12
LCM = 4902441180
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 494,860,471,294 is 4902441180.
