Find LCM of 351,505,988,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 351, 505, 988, 972 |
| 2 | 351, 505, 494, 486 |
| 3 | 351, 505, 247, 243 |
| 3 | 117, 505, 247, 81 |
| 3 | 39, 505, 247, 27 |
| 13 | 13, 505, 247, 9 |
| 1, 505, 19, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 505 x 19 x 9 = 121242420
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 351,505,988,972 is 121242420.
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.
351 x 505 x 988 x 972 = 170224357680
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.
351 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 27, 39, 117, 351
505 : 1, 5, 101, 505
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 351,505,988,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
351:3x 3x 3x 13
505:5x 101
988:2x 2x 13x 19
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 3x 3x 3x 13 = 1404
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1404.
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 = 170224357680/(1x1404)
LCM = 170224357680/1404
LCM = 121242420
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 351,505,988,972 is 121242420.
