Find LCM of 143,320,968,147 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 143, 320, 968, 147 |
| 2 | 143, 160, 484, 147 |
| 2 | 143, 80, 242, 147 |
| 11 | 143, 40, 121, 147 |
| 13, 40, 11, 147 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 13 x 40 x 11 x 147 = 73993920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 143,320,968,147 is 73993920.
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.
143 x 320 x 968 x 147 = 6511464960
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.
143 : 1, 11, 13, 143
320 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 160, 320
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
147 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 143,320,968,147, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
143:11x 13
320:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
147:3x 7x 7
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 11 = 88
Therefore, the value for common factors is 88.
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 = 6511464960/(1x88)
LCM = 6511464960/88
LCM = 73993920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 143,320,968,147 is 73993920.
