Find LCM of 261,374,466,520,312 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 261, 374, 466, 520, 312 |
| 2 | 261, 187, 233, 260, 156 |
| 2 | 261, 187, 233, 130, 78 |
| 3 | 261, 187, 233, 65, 39 |
| 13 | 87, 187, 233, 65, 13 |
| 87, 187, 233, 5, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 87 x 187 x 233 x 5 x 1 = 5913456120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,374,466,520,312 is 5913456120.
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.
261 x 374 x 466 x 520 x 312 = 7379993237760
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.
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374
466 : 1, 2, 233, 466
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
312 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, 312
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,374,466,520,312, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
374:2x 11x 17
466:2x 233
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
312:2x 2x 2x 3x 13
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 2x 3x 13 = 1248
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1248.
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 = 7379993237760/(1x1248)
LCM = 7379993237760/1248
LCM = 5913456120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,374,466,520,312 is 5913456120.
