Find LCM of 279,404,541,472,118 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 279, 404, 541, 472, 118 |
| 2 | 279, 202, 541, 236, 59 |
| 59 | 279, 101, 541, 118, 59 |
| 279, 101, 541, 2, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 59 x 279 x 101 x 541 x 2 x 1 = 7195564008
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 279,404,541,472,118 is 7195564008.
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 404 x 541 x 472 x 118 = 3396306211776
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
404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404
541 : 1, 541
472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 279,404,541,472,118, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
279:3x 3x 31
404:2x 2x 101
541:541
472:2x 2x 2x 59
118:2x 59
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 59 = 472
Therefore, the value for common factors is 472.
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 = 3396306211776/(1x472)
LCM = 3396306211776/472
LCM = 7195564008
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 279,404,541,472,118 is 7195564008.
