Given numbers are 956,280,320,487
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 956,280,320,487 is 260720320.
Find LCM of 956,280,320,487 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 956, 280, 320, 487 |
| 2 | 478, 140, 160, 487 |
| 2 | 239, 70, 80, 487 |
| 5 | 239, 35, 40, 487 |
| 239, 7, 8, 487 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 239 x 7 x 8 x 487 = 260720320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 956,280,320,487 is 260720320.
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.
956 x 280 x 320 x 487 = 41715251200
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.
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
320 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 160, 320
487 : 1, 487
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 956,280,320,487, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
956:2x 2x 239
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
320:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
487:487
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 2x 2x 5 = 160
Therefore, the value for common factors is 160.
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 = 41715251200/(1x160)
LCM = 41715251200/160
LCM = 260720320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 956,280,320,487 is 260720320.
