Find LCM of 256,944,961,537 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 256, 944, 961, 537 |
| 2 | 128, 472, 961, 537 |
| 2 | 64, 236, 961, 537 |
| 2 | 32, 118, 961, 537 |
| 16, 59, 961, 537 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 16 x 59 x 961 x 537 = 7794524928
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 256,944,961,537 is 7794524928.
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.
256 x 944 x 961 x 537 = 124712398848
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.
256 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
944 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944
961 : 1, 31, 961
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 256,944,961,537, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
256:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2
944:2x 2x 2x 2x 59
961:31x 31
537:3x 179
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 2 = 16
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.
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 = 124712398848/(1x16)
LCM = 124712398848/16
LCM = 7794524928
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 256,944,961,537 is 7794524928.
