Find LCM of 252,994,981,974,556 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 252, 994, 981, 974, 556 |
| 2 | 126, 497, 981, 487, 278 |
| 3 | 63, 497, 981, 487, 139 |
| 3 | 21, 497, 327, 487, 139 |
| 7 | 7, 497, 109, 487, 139 |
| 1, 71, 109, 487, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 71 x 109 x 487 x 139 = 132016784004
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 252,994,981,974,556 is 132016784004.
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 994 x 981 x 974 x 556 = 133072918276032
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
994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994
981 : 1, 3, 9, 109, 327, 981
974 : 1, 2, 487, 974
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 252,994,981,974,556, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
994:2x 7x 71
981:3x 3x 109
974:2x 487
556:2x 2x 139
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 3x 3x 7 = 1008
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1008.
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 = 133072918276032/(1x1008)
LCM = 133072918276032/1008
LCM = 132016784004
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 252,994,981,974,556 is 132016784004.
