The LCM of 203,238,280,785,124 is 671840680.
Find LCM of 203,238,280,785,124 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 203, 238, 280, 785, 124 |
| 2 | 203, 119, 140, 785, 62 |
| 5 | 203, 119, 70, 785, 31 |
| 7 | 203, 119, 14, 157, 31 |
| 29, 17, 2, 157, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 29 x 17 x 2 x 157 x 31 = 671840680
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 203,238,280,785,124 is 671840680.
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 238 x 280 x 785 x 124 = 1316807732800
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
238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
785 : 1, 5, 157, 785
124 : 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 203,238,280,785,124, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
203:7x 29
238:2x 7x 17
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
785:5x 157
124:2x 2x 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 5x 7x 7 = 1960
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1960.
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 = 1316807732800/(1x1960)
LCM = 1316807732800/1960
LCM = 671840680
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 203,238,280,785,124 is 671840680.
