Given numbers are 951,396,972,461
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 951,396,972,461 is 1562496804.
Find LCM of 951,396,972,461 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 951, 396, 972, 461 |
| 2 | 951, 198, 486, 461 |
| 3 | 951, 99, 243, 461 |
| 3 | 317, 33, 81, 461 |
| 317, 11, 27, 461 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 317 x 11 x 27 x 461 = 1562496804
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 951,396,972,461 is 1562496804.
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.
951 x 396 x 972 x 461 = 168749654832
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.
951 : 1, 3, 317, 951
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
461 : 1, 461
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 951,396,972,461, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
951:3x 317
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
461:461
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 3x 3x 3 = 108
Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.
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 = 168749654832/(1x108)
LCM = 168749654832/108
LCM = 1562496804
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 951,396,972,461 is 1562496804.
