The LCM of 265,520,988,271 is 141906440.
Find LCM of 265,520,988,271 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 265, 520, 988, 271 |
| 2 | 265, 260, 494, 271 |
| 5 | 265, 130, 247, 271 |
| 13 | 53, 26, 247, 271 |
| 53, 2, 19, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 13 x 53 x 2 x 19 x 271 = 141906440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 265,520,988,271 is 141906440.
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.
265 x 520 x 988 x 271 = 36895674400
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.
265 : 1, 5, 53, 265
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
271 : 1, 271
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 265,520,988,271, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
265:5x 53
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
988:2x 2x 13x 19
271:271
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 5x 13 = 260
Therefore, the value for common factors is 260.
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 = 36895674400/(1x260)
LCM = 36895674400/260
LCM = 141906440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 265,520,988,271 is 141906440.
