Given numbers are 496,216,879
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 496,216,879 is 3923856.
Find LCM of 496,216,879 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 496, 216, 879 |
| 2 | 248, 108, 879 |
| 2 | 124, 54, 879 |
| 3 | 62, 27, 879 |
| 62, 9, 293 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 62 x 9 x 293 = 3923856
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 496,216,879 is 3923856.
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.
496 x 216 x 879 = 94172544
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.
496 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496
216 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, 216
879 : 1, 3, 293, 879
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 496,216,879, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31
216:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
879:3x 293
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 2x 3 = 24
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.
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 = 94172544/(1x24)
LCM = 94172544/24
LCM = 3923856
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 496,216,879 is 3923856.
