Find LCM of 186,659,280,245,372 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 186, 659, 280, 245, 372 |
| 2 | 93, 659, 140, 245, 186 |
| 3 | 93, 659, 70, 245, 93 |
| 5 | 31, 659, 70, 245, 31 |
| 7 | 31, 659, 14, 49, 31 |
| 31 | 31, 659, 2, 7, 31 |
| 1, 659, 2, 7, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 31 x 1 x 659 x 2 x 7 x 1 = 120122520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 186,659,280,245,372 is 120122520.
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.
186 x 659 x 280 x 245 x 372 = 3127990420800
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.
186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186
659 : 1, 659
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
245 : 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, 245
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 186,659,280,245,372, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
186:2x 3x 31
659:659
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
245:5x 7x 7
372:2x 2x 3x 31
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 3x 5x 7x 31 = 26040
Therefore, the value for common factors is 26040.
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 = 3127990420800/(1x26040)
LCM = 3127990420800/26040
LCM = 120122520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 186,659,280,245,372 is 120122520.
