Given numbers are 496,418,517,472
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 496,418,517,472 is 287460272.
Find LCM of 496,418,517,472 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 496, 418, 517, 472 |
| 2 | 248, 209, 517, 236 |
| 2 | 124, 209, 517, 118 |
| 11 | 62, 209, 517, 59 |
| 62, 19, 47, 59 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 62 x 19 x 47 x 59 = 287460272
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 496,418,517,472 is 287460272.
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 418 x 517 x 472 = 50593007872
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
418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418
517 : 1, 11, 47, 517
472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 496,418,517,472, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31
418:2x 11x 19
517:11x 47
472:2x 2x 2x 59
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 2x 11 = 176
Therefore, the value for common factors is 176.
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 = 50593007872/(1x176)
LCM = 50593007872/176
LCM = 287460272
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 496,418,517,472 is 287460272.
