Find LCM of 278,117,493,203,396 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 278, 117, 493, 203, 396 |
| 3 | 139, 117, 493, 203, 198 |
| 3 | 139, 39, 493, 203, 66 |
| 29 | 139, 13, 493, 203, 22 |
| 139, 13, 17, 7, 22 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 29 x 139 x 13 x 17 x 7 x 22 = 2469438972
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,117,493,203,396 is 2469438972.
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.
278 x 117 x 493 x 203 x 396 = 1289047143384
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.
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
117 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117
493 : 1, 17, 29, 493
203 : 1, 7, 29, 203
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,117,493,203,396, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
278:2x 139
117:3x 3x 13
493:17x 29
203:7x 29
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 29 = 522
Therefore, the value for common factors is 522.
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 = 1289047143384/(1x522)
LCM = 1289047143384/522
LCM = 2469438972
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,117,493,203,396 is 2469438972.
