Given numbers are 861,478,956,466

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 861,478,956,466 is 191786028.

Find LCM of 861,478,956,466 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 239 x 861 x 1 x 2 x 233 = 191786028

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 861,478,956,466 is 191786028.

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.

861 x 478 x 956 x 466 = 183347442768

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.

861 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

466 : 1, 2, 233, 466

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 861,478,956,466, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

861:3x 7x 41

478:2x 239

956:2x 2x 239

466:2x 233

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 239 = 956

Therefore, the value for common factors is 956.

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 = 183347442768/(1x956)

LCM = 183347442768/956

LCM = 191786028

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 861,478,956,466 is 191786028.
