Find LCM of 120,252,163,540,457 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 120, 252, 163, 540, 457 |
| 2 | 60, 126, 163, 270, 457 |
| 3 | 30, 63, 163, 135, 457 |
| 3 | 10, 21, 163, 45, 457 |
| 5 | 10, 7, 163, 15, 457 |
| 2, 7, 163, 3, 457 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 7 x 163 x 3 x 457 = 563151960
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 120,252,163,540,457 is 563151960.
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.
120 x 252 x 163 x 540 x 457 = 1216408233600
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.
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
163 : 1, 163
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
457 : 1, 457
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 120,252,163,540,457, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
163:163
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
457:457
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 3x 3x 3x 5 = 2160
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2160.
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 = 1216408233600/(1x2160)
LCM = 1216408233600/2160
LCM = 563151960
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 120,252,163,540,457 is 563151960.
