Find LCM of 368,658,987,462 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 368, 658, 987, 462 |
| 3 | 184, 329, 987, 231 |
| 7 | 184, 329, 329, 77 |
| 47 | 184, 47, 47, 11 |
| 184, 1, 1, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 47 x 184 x 1 x 1 x 11 = 3995376
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 368,658,987,462 is 3995376.
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.
368 x 658 x 987 x 462 = 110416211136
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.
368 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368
658 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 47, 94, 329, 658
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 368,658,987,462, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
368:2x 2x 2x 2x 23
658:2x 7x 47
987:3x 7x 47
462:2x 3x 7x 11
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 7x 7x 47 = 27636
Therefore, the value for common factors is 27636.
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 = 110416211136/(1x27636)
LCM = 110416211136/27636
LCM = 3995376
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 368,658,987,462 is 3995376.
