Given numbers are 874,418,520,956
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 874,418,520,956 is 597413960.
Find LCM of 874,418,520,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 874, 418, 520, 956 |
| 2 | 437, 209, 260, 478 |
| 19 | 437, 209, 130, 239 |
| 23, 11, 130, 239 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 19 x 23 x 11 x 130 x 239 = 597413960
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 874,418,520,956 is 597413960.
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.
874 x 418 x 520 x 956 = 181613843840
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.
874 : 1, 2, 19, 23, 38, 46, 437, 874
418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
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 874,418,520,956, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
874:2x 19x 23
418:2x 11x 19
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
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 19 = 152
Therefore, the value for common factors is 152.
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 = 181613843840/(2x152)
LCM = 181613843840/304
LCM = 597413960
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 874,418,520,956 is 597413960.
