The LCM of 312,168,566,78 is 618072.
Find LCM of 312,168,566,78 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 312, 168, 566, 78 |
| 2 | 156, 84, 283, 39 |
| 2 | 78, 42, 283, 39 |
| 3 | 39, 21, 283, 39 |
| 13 | 13, 7, 283, 13 |
| 1, 7, 283, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 7 x 283 x 1 = 618072
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 312,168,566,78 is 618072.
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.
312 x 168 x 566 x 78 = 2314061568
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.
312 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, 312
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
566 : 1, 2, 283, 566
78 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 312,168,566,78, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
312:2x 2x 2x 3x 13
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
566:2x 283
78:2x 3x 13
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 3x 3x 13 = 1872
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1872.
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 = 2314061568/(2x1872)
LCM = 2314061568/3744
LCM = 618072
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 312,168,566,78 is 618072.
