Find LCM of 357,120,300,986,272 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 357, 120, 300, 986, 272 |
| 2 | 357, 60, 150, 493, 136 |
| 2 | 357, 30, 75, 493, 68 |
| 3 | 357, 15, 75, 493, 34 |
| 5 | 119, 5, 25, 493, 34 |
| 17 | 119, 1, 5, 493, 34 |
| 7, 1, 5, 29, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 7 x 1 x 5 x 29 x 2 = 4141200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 357,120,300,986,272 is 4141200.
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.
357 x 120 x 300 x 986 x 272 = 3446803584000
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.
357 : 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
300 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 300
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 357,120,300,986,272, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
357:3x 7x 17
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
300:2x 2x 3x 5x 5
986:2x 17x 29
272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17
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 2x 2x 3x 3x 5x 17x 17 = 832320
Therefore, the value for common factors is 832320.
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 = 3446803584000/(1x832320)
LCM = 3446803584000/832320
LCM = 4141200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 357,120,300,986,272 is 4141200.
