Given numbers are 946,588,407,720
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 946,588,407,720 is 617435280.
Find LCM of 946,588,407,720 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 946, 588, 407, 720 |
| 2 | 473, 294, 407, 360 |
| 3 | 473, 147, 407, 180 |
| 11 | 473, 49, 407, 60 |
| 43, 49, 37, 60 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 43 x 49 x 37 x 60 = 617435280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 946,588,407,720 is 617435280.
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.
946 x 588 x 407 x 720 = 163002913920
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.
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
407 : 1, 11, 37, 407
720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 946,588,407,720, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
946:2x 11x 43
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7
407:11x 37
720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
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 11 = 264
Therefore, the value for common factors is 264.
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 = 163002913920/(1x264)
LCM = 163002913920/264
LCM = 617435280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 946,588,407,720 is 617435280.
