Given numbers are 509,462,726,968
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 509,462,726,968 is 10346952.
Find LCM of 509,462,726,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 509, 462, 726, 968 |
| 3 | 509, 231, 363, 484 |
| 11 | 509, 77, 121, 484 |
| 11 | 509, 7, 11, 44 |
| 509, 7, 1, 4 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 11 x 509 x 7 x 1 x 4 = 10346952
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 509,462,726,968 is 10346952.
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.
509 x 462 x 726 x 968 = 165261517344
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.
509 : 1, 509
462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462
726 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 121, 242, 363, 726
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 509,462,726,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
509:509
462:2x 3x 7x 11
726:2x 3x 11x 11
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
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 11x 11x 11 = 15972
Therefore, the value for common factors is 15972.
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 = 165261517344/(1x15972)
LCM = 165261517344/15972
LCM = 10346952
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 509,462,726,968 is 10346952.
