Find LCM of 259,424,159,407,372 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 259, 424, 159, 407, 372 |
| 2 | 259, 212, 159, 407, 186 |
| 3 | 259, 106, 159, 407, 93 |
| 37 | 259, 106, 53, 407, 31 |
| 53 | 7, 106, 53, 11, 31 |
| 7, 2, 1, 11, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 37 x 53 x 7 x 2 x 1 x 11 x 31 = 112341768
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,424,159,407,372 is 112341768.
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.
259 x 424 x 159 x 407 x 372 = 2643626484576
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.
259 : 1, 7, 37, 259
424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
407 : 1, 11, 37, 407
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,424,159,407,372, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
259:7x 37
424:2x 2x 2x 53
159:3x 53
407:11x 37
372:2x 2x 3x 31
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 37x 53 = 23532
Therefore, the value for common factors is 23532.
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 = 2643626484576/(1x23532)
LCM = 2643626484576/23532
LCM = 112341768
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,424,159,407,372 is 112341768.
