Find LCM of 148,372,968,952,748 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 148, 372, 968, 952, 748 |
| 2 | 74, 186, 484, 476, 374 |
| 2 | 37, 93, 242, 238, 187 |
| 11 | 37, 93, 121, 119, 187 |
| 17 | 37, 93, 11, 119, 17 |
| 37, 93, 11, 7, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 17 x 37 x 93 x 11 x 7 x 1 = 396375672
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 148,372,968,952,748 is 396375672.
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.
148 x 372 x 968 x 952 x 748 = 37950592339968
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.
148 : 1, 2, 4, 37, 74, 148
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952
748 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 148,372,968,952,748, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
148:2x 2x 37
372:2x 2x 3x 31
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17
748:2x 2x 11x 17
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 2x 2x 11x 17 = 23936
Therefore, the value for common factors is 23936.
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 = 37950592339968/(4x23936)
LCM = 37950592339968/95744
LCM = 396375672
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 148,372,968,952,748 is 396375672.
