Find LCM of 252,357,307,972,121 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 252, 357, 307, 972, 121 |
| 2 | 126, 357, 307, 486, 121 |
| 3 | 63, 357, 307, 243, 121 |
| 3 | 21, 119, 307, 81, 121 |
| 7 | 7, 119, 307, 27, 121 |
| 1, 17, 307, 27, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 17 x 307 x 27 x 121 = 4296719196
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 252,357,307,972,121 is 4296719196.
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.
252 x 357 x 307 x 972 x 121 = 3248319712176
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.
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357
307 : 1, 307
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
121 : 1, 11, 121
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 252,357,307,972,121, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
357:3x 7x 17
307:307
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
121:11x 11
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 7 = 756
Therefore, the value for common factors is 756.
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 = 3248319712176/(1x756)
LCM = 3248319712176/756
LCM = 4296719196
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 252,357,307,972,121 is 4296719196.
