Given numbers are 863,462,946,491
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 863,462,946,491 is 8417879778.
Find LCM of 863,462,946,491 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 863, 462, 946, 491 |
| 11 | 863, 231, 473, 491 |
| 863, 21, 43, 491 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 863 x 21 x 43 x 491 = 8417879778
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 863,462,946,491 is 8417879778.
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.
863 x 462 x 946 x 491 = 185193355116
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.
863 : 1, 863
462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
491 : 1, 491
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 863,462,946,491, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
863:863
462:2x 3x 7x 11
946:2x 11x 43
491:491
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 11 = 22
Therefore, the value for common factors is 22.
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 = 185193355116/(1x22)
LCM = 185193355116/22
LCM = 8417879778
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 863,462,946,491 is 8417879778.
