Find LCM of 342,507,988,515,948 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 342, 507, 988, 515, 948 |
| 2 | 171, 507, 494, 515, 474 |
| 3 | 171, 507, 247, 515, 237 |
| 13 | 57, 169, 247, 515, 79 |
| 19 | 57, 13, 19, 515, 79 |
| 3, 13, 1, 515, 79 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 19 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 515 x 79 = 4703023260
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 342,507,988,515,948 is 4703023260.
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.
342 x 507 x 988 x 515 x 948 = 83638565655840
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.
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
507 : 1, 3, 13, 39, 169, 507
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
515 : 1, 5, 103, 515
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 342,507,988,515,948, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
342:2x 3x 3x 19
507:3x 13x 13
988:2x 2x 13x 19
515:5x 103
948:2x 2x 3x 79
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 13x 19 = 17784
Therefore, the value for common factors is 17784.
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 = 83638565655840/(1x17784)
LCM = 83638565655840/17784
LCM = 4703023260
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 342,507,988,515,948 is 4703023260.
