Find LCM of 240,531,556,515,657 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 240, 531, 556, 515, 657 |
| 2 | 120, 531, 278, 515, 657 |
| 3 | 60, 531, 139, 515, 657 |
| 3 | 20, 177, 139, 515, 219 |
| 5 | 20, 59, 139, 515, 73 |
| 4, 59, 139, 103, 73 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 59 x 139 x 103 x 73 = 44397589680
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,531,556,515,657 is 44397589680.
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.
240 x 531 x 556 x 515 x 657 = 23974698427200
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.
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
515 : 1, 5, 103, 515
657 : 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, 657
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,531,556,515,657, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
531:3x 3x 59
556:2x 2x 139
515:5x 103
657:3x 3x 73
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 3x 5 = 540
Therefore, the value for common factors is 540.
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 = 23974698427200/(1x540)
LCM = 23974698427200/540
LCM = 44397589680
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,531,556,515,657 is 44397589680.
