Find LCM of 279,155,672,956,434 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 279, 155, 672, 956, 434 |
| 2 | 279, 155, 336, 478, 217 |
| 3 | 279, 155, 168, 239, 217 |
| 7 | 93, 155, 56, 239, 217 |
| 31 | 93, 155, 8, 239, 31 |
| 3, 5, 8, 239, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 31 x 3 x 5 x 8 x 239 x 1 = 74682720
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 279,155,672,956,434 is 74682720.
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.
279 x 155 x 672 x 956 x 434 = 12057375778560
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.
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
155 : 1, 5, 31, 155
672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
434 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 31, 62, 217, 434
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 279,155,672,956,434, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
279:3x 3x 31
155:5x 31
672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
956:2x 2x 239
434:2x 7x 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 2x 3x 7x 31x 31 = 161448
Therefore, the value for common factors is 161448.
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 = 12057375778560/(1x161448)
LCM = 12057375778560/161448
LCM = 74682720
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 279,155,672,956,434 is 74682720.
