Find LCM of 205,408,855,372 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 205, 408, 855, 372 |
| 2 | 205, 204, 855, 186 |
| 3 | 205, 102, 855, 93 |
| 5 | 205, 34, 285, 31 |
| 41, 34, 57, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 41 x 34 x 57 x 31 = 147791880
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 205,408,855,372 is 147791880.
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.
205 x 408 x 855 x 372 = 26602538400
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.
205 : 1, 5, 41, 205
408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408
855 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, 855
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 205,408,855,372, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
205:5x 41
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
855:3x 3x 5x 19
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 3x 3x 5 = 180
Therefore, the value for common factors is 180.
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 = 26602538400/(1x180)
LCM = 26602538400/180
LCM = 147791880
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 205,408,855,372 is 147791880.
