Find LCM of 372,231,484,422,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 372, 231, 484, 422, 988 |
| 2 | 186, 231, 242, 211, 494 |
| 3 | 93, 231, 121, 211, 247 |
| 11 | 31, 77, 121, 211, 247 |
| 31, 7, 11, 211, 247 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 31 x 7 x 11 x 211 x 247 = 16421232828
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 372,231,484,422,988 is 16421232828.
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.
372 x 231 x 484 x 422 x 988 = 17340821866368
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.
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
484 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 121, 242, 484
422 : 1, 2, 211, 422
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 372,231,484,422,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
372:2x 2x 3x 31
231:3x 7x 11
484:2x 2x 11x 11
422:2x 211
988:2x 2x 13x 19
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 3x 11 = 1056
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1056.
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 = 17340821866368/(1x1056)
LCM = 17340821866368/1056
LCM = 16421232828
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 372,231,484,422,988 is 16421232828.
