Find LCM of 298,324,252,689,987 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 298, 324, 252, 689, 987 |
| 2 | 149, 162, 126, 689, 987 |
| 3 | 149, 81, 63, 689, 987 |
| 3 | 149, 27, 21, 689, 329 |
| 7 | 149, 9, 7, 689, 329 |
| 149, 9, 1, 689, 47 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 149 x 9 x 1 x 689 x 47 = 10943251956
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 298,324,252,689,987 is 10943251956.
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.
298 x 324 x 252 x 689 x 987 = 16546196957472
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.
298 : 1, 2, 149, 298
324 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 324
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
689 : 1, 13, 53, 689
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 298,324,252,689,987, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
298:2x 149
324:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
689:13x 53
987:3x 7x 47
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 3x 3x 7 = 1512
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1512.
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 = 16546196957472/(1x1512)
LCM = 16546196957472/1512
LCM = 10943251956
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 298,324,252,689,987 is 10943251956.
