Given numbers are 8,946,516,461
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 8,946,516,461 is 5233272.
Find LCM of 8,946,516,461 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 8, 946, 516, 461 |
| 2 | 4, 473, 258, 461 |
| 43 | 2, 473, 129, 461 |
| 2, 11, 3, 461 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 43 x 2 x 11 x 3 x 461 = 5233272
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8,946,516,461 is 5233272.
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.
8 x 946 x 516 x 461 = 1800245568
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.
8 : 1, 2, 4, 8
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
516 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 43, 86, 129, 172, 258, 516
461 : 1, 461
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8,946,516,461, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
8:2x 2x 2
946:2x 11x 43
516:2x 2x 3x 43
461:461
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 43 = 344
Therefore, the value for common factors is 344.
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 = 1800245568/(1x344)
LCM = 1800245568/344
LCM = 5233272
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8,946,516,461 is 5233272.
