Find LCM of 287,972,598,728,686 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 287, 972, 598, 728, 686 |
| 2 | 287, 486, 299, 364, 343 |
| 7 | 287, 243, 299, 182, 343 |
| 13 | 41, 243, 299, 26, 49 |
| 41, 243, 23, 2, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 13 x 41 x 243 x 23 x 2 x 49 = 8174203128
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 287,972,598,728,686 is 8174203128.
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.
287 x 972 x 598 x 728 x 686 = 83311478280576
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.
287 : 1, 7, 41, 287
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
598 : 1, 2, 13, 23, 26, 46, 299, 598
728 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 56, 91, 104, 182, 364, 728
686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 287,972,598,728,686, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
287:7x 41
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
598:2x 13x 23
728:2x 2x 2x 7x 13
686:2x 7x 7x 7
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 7x 7x 13 = 10192
Therefore, the value for common factors is 10192.
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 = 83311478280576/(1x10192)
LCM = 83311478280576/10192
LCM = 8174203128
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 287,972,598,728,686 is 8174203128.
