The LCM of 248,251,856,948,708 is 93134274888.
Find LCM of 248,251,856,948,708 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 248, 251, 856, 948, 708 |
| 2 | 124, 251, 428, 474, 354 |
| 2 | 62, 251, 214, 237, 177 |
| 3 | 31, 251, 107, 237, 177 |
| 31, 251, 107, 79, 59 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 31 x 251 x 107 x 79 x 59 = 93134274888
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 248,251,856,948,708 is 93134274888.
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.
248 x 251 x 856 x 948 x 708 = 35763561556992
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.
248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248
251 : 1, 251
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
708 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 59, 118, 177, 236, 354, 708
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 248,251,856,948,708, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
248:2x 2x 2x 31
251:251
856:2x 2x 2x 107
948:2x 2x 3x 79
708:2x 2x 3x 59
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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3 = 384
Therefore, the value for common factors is 384.
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 = 35763561556992/(1x384)
LCM = 35763561556992/384
LCM = 93134274888
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 248,251,856,948,708 is 93134274888.
