Find LCM of 338,572,261,523,540 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 338, 572, 261, 523, 540 |
| 2 | 169, 286, 261, 523, 270 |
| 3 | 169, 143, 261, 523, 135 |
| 3 | 169, 143, 87, 523, 45 |
| 13 | 169, 143, 29, 523, 15 |
| 13, 11, 29, 523, 15 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 13 x 11 x 29 x 523 x 15 = 15225544620
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 338,572,261,523,540 is 15225544620.
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.
338 x 572 x 261 x 523 x 540 = 14251109764320
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.
338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338
572 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, 572
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
523 : 1, 523
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 338,572,261,523,540, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
338:2x 13x 13
572:2x 2x 11x 13
261:3x 3x 29
523:523
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 2x 3x 3x 13 = 936
Therefore, the value for common factors is 936.
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 = 14251109764320/(1x936)
LCM = 14251109764320/936
LCM = 15225544620
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 338,572,261,523,540 is 15225544620.
