Find LCM of 203,231,858,426,556 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 203, 231, 858, 426, 556 |
| 3 | 203, 231, 429, 213, 278 |
| 7 | 203, 77, 143, 71, 278 |
| 11 | 29, 11, 143, 71, 278 |
| 29, 1, 13, 71, 278 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 29 x 1 x 13 x 71 x 278 = 3437846412
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 203,231,858,426,556 is 3437846412.
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.
203 x 231 x 858 x 426 x 556 = 9529710254064
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.
203 : 1, 7, 29, 203
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
858 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 13, 22, 26, 33, 39, 66, 78, 143, 286, 429, 858
426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 203,231,858,426,556, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
203:7x 29
231:3x 7x 11
858:2x 3x 11x 13
426:2x 3x 71
556:2x 2x 139
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 3x 3x 7x 11 = 2772
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2772.
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 = 9529710254064/(1x2772)
LCM = 9529710254064/2772
LCM = 3437846412
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 203,231,858,426,556 is 3437846412.
