The LCM of 870,479,420,980 is 40839540.
Find LCM of 870,479,420,980 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 870, 479, 420, 980 |
| 2 | 435, 479, 210, 490 |
| 3 | 435, 479, 105, 245 |
| 5 | 145, 479, 35, 245 |
| 7 | 29, 479, 7, 49 |
| 29, 479, 1, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 29 x 479 x 1 x 7 = 40839540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 870,479,420,980 is 40839540.
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.
870 x 479 x 420 x 980 = 171526068000
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.
870 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 29, 30, 58, 87, 145, 174, 290, 435, 870
479 : 1, 479
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 870,479,420,980, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
870:2x 3x 5x 29
479:479
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
980:2x 2x 5x 7x 7
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 5x 5x 7 = 4200
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4200.
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 = 171526068000/(1x4200)
LCM = 171526068000/4200
LCM = 40839540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 870,479,420,980 is 40839540.
