Given numbers are 526,432,846,956
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 526,432,846,956 is 1276248528.
Find LCM of 526,432,846,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 526, 432, 846, 956 |
| 2 | 263, 216, 423, 478 |
| 3 | 263, 108, 423, 239 |
| 3 | 263, 36, 141, 239 |
| 263, 12, 47, 239 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 263 x 12 x 47 x 239 = 1276248528
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 526,432,846,956 is 1276248528.
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.
526 x 432 x 846 x 956 = 183779788032
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.
526 : 1, 2, 263, 526
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 526,432,846,956, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
526:2x 263
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
846:2x 3x 3x 47
956:2x 2x 239
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 3x 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 183779788032/(2x72)
LCM = 183779788032/144
LCM = 1276248528
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 526,432,846,956 is 1276248528.
