Find LCM of 252,381,378,391 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 252, 381, 378, 391 |
| 3 | 126, 381, 189, 391 |
| 3 | 42, 127, 63, 391 |
| 7 | 14, 127, 21, 391 |
| 2, 127, 3, 391 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 127 x 3 x 391 = 37540692
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 252,381,378,391 is 37540692.
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 381 x 378 x 391 = 14190381576
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
381 : 1, 3, 127, 381
378 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 252,381,378,391, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
381:3x 127
378:2x 3x 3x 3x 7
391:17x 23
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 3x 7 = 378
Therefore, the value for common factors is 378.
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 = 14190381576/(1x378)
LCM = 14190381576/378
LCM = 37540692
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 252,381,378,391 is 37540692.
