Find LCM of 320,960,589,261 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 320, 960, 589, 261 |
| 2 | 160, 480, 589, 261 |
| 2 | 80, 240, 589, 261 |
| 2 | 40, 120, 589, 261 |
| 2 | 20, 60, 589, 261 |
| 2 | 10, 30, 589, 261 |
| 3 | 5, 15, 589, 261 |
| 5 | 5, 5, 589, 87 |
| 1, 1, 589, 87 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 589 x 87 = 49193280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 320,960,589,261 is 49193280.
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.
320 x 960 x 589 x 261 = 47225548800
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.
320 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 160, 320
960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960
589 : 1, 19, 31, 589
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 320,960,589,261, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
320:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
589:19x 31
261:3x 3x 29
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 2x 2x 3x 5 = 960
Therefore, the value for common factors is 960.
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 = 47225548800/(1x960)
LCM = 47225548800/960
LCM = 49193280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 320,960,589,261 is 49193280.
