Find LCM of 255,808,585,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 255, 808, 585, 972 |
| 2 | 255, 404, 585, 486 |
| 3 | 255, 202, 585, 243 |
| 3 | 85, 202, 195, 81 |
| 5 | 85, 202, 65, 27 |
| 17, 202, 13, 27 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 202 x 13 x 27 = 216960120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 255,808,585,972 is 216960120.
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.
255 x 808 x 585 x 972 = 117158464800
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.
255 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
808 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 101, 202, 404, 808
585 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 15, 39, 45, 65, 117, 195, 585
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 255,808,585,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
255:3x 5x 17
808:2x 2x 2x 101
585:3x 3x 5x 13
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 = 117158464800/(1x540)
LCM = 117158464800/540
LCM = 216960120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 255,808,585,972 is 216960120.
