Find LCM of 342,789,248,540,271 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 342, 789, 248, 540, 271 |
| 2 | 171, 789, 124, 270, 271 |
| 3 | 171, 789, 62, 135, 271 |
| 3 | 57, 263, 62, 45, 271 |
| 19, 263, 62, 15, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 19 x 263 x 62 x 15 x 271 = 45338180760
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 342,789,248,540,271 is 45338180760.
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 789 x 248 x 540 x 271 = 9793047044160
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
789 : 1, 3, 263, 789
248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248
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
271 : 1, 271
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 342,789,248,540,271, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
342:2x 3x 3x 19
789:3x 263
248:2x 2x 2x 31
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
271:271
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 3 = 216
Therefore, the value for common factors is 216.
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 = 9793047044160/(1x216)
LCM = 9793047044160/216
LCM = 45338180760
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 342,789,248,540,271 is 45338180760.
