Given numbers are 517,940,956,865
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 517,940,956,865 is 427527980.
Find LCM of 517,940,956,865 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 517, 940, 956, 865 |
| 2 | 517, 470, 478, 865 |
| 5 | 517, 235, 239, 865 |
| 47 | 517, 47, 239, 173 |
| 11, 1, 239, 173 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 47 x 11 x 1 x 239 x 173 = 427527980
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 517,940,956,865 is 427527980.
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.
517 x 940 x 956 x 865 = 401876301200
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.
517 : 1, 11, 47, 517
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
865 : 1, 5, 173, 865
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 517,940,956,865, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
517:11x 47
940:2x 2x 5x 47
956:2x 2x 239
865:5x 173
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 5x 47 = 940
Therefore, the value for common factors is 940.
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 = 401876301200/(1x940)
LCM = 401876301200/940
LCM = 427527980
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 517,940,956,865 is 427527980.
