Find LCM of 325,978,520,327,688 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 325, 978, 520, 327, 688 |
| 2 | 325, 489, 260, 327, 344 |
| 2 | 325, 489, 130, 327, 172 |
| 3 | 325, 489, 65, 327, 86 |
| 5 | 325, 163, 65, 109, 86 |
| 13 | 13, 163, 65, 109, 86 |
| 1, 163, 5, 109, 86 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 13 x 1 x 163 x 5 x 109 x 86 = 11918103600
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 325,978,520,327,688 is 11918103600.
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.
325 x 978 x 520 x 327 x 688 = 37184483232000
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.
325 : 1, 5, 13, 25, 65, 325
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
327 : 1, 3, 109, 327
688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 325,978,520,327,688, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
325:5x 5x 13
978:2x 3x 163
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
327:3x 109
688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43
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 5x 13 = 3120
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3120.
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 = 37184483232000/(1x3120)
LCM = 37184483232000/3120
LCM = 11918103600
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 325,978,520,327,688 is 11918103600.
