Find LCM of 144,956,363,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 144, 956, 363, 968 |
| 2 | 72, 478, 363, 484 |
| 2 | 36, 239, 363, 242 |
| 3 | 18, 239, 363, 121 |
| 11 | 6, 239, 121, 121 |
| 11 | 6, 239, 11, 11 |
| 6, 239, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 11 x 6 x 239 x 1 x 1 = 4164336
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 144,956,363,968 is 4164336.
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.
144 x 956 x 363 x 968 = 48372926976
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.
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
363 : 1, 3, 11, 33, 121, 363
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 144,956,363,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
956:2x 2x 239
363:3x 11x 11
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
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 3x 11x 11 = 11616
Therefore, the value for common factors is 11616.
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 = 48372926976/(1x11616)
LCM = 48372926976/11616
LCM = 4164336
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 144,956,363,968 is 4164336.
