Given numbers are 312,687,505,540
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 312,687,505,540 is 324731160.
Find LCM of 312,687,505,540 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 312, 687, 505, 540 |
| 2 | 156, 687, 505, 270 |
| 3 | 78, 687, 505, 135 |
| 5 | 26, 229, 505, 45 |
| 26, 229, 101, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 26 x 229 x 101 x 9 = 324731160
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 312,687,505,540 is 324731160.
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 687 x 505 x 540 = 58451608800
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
687 : 1, 3, 229, 687
505 : 1, 5, 101, 505
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 312,687,505,540, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
312:2x 2x 2x 3x 13
687:3x 229
505:5x 101
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
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 3x 3x 5 = 180
Therefore, the value for common factors is 180.
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 = 58451608800/(1x180)
LCM = 58451608800/180
LCM = 324731160
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 312,687,505,540 is 324731160.
