Find LCM of 381,883,972,242,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 381, 883, 972, 242, 968 |
| 2 | 381, 883, 486, 121, 484 |
| 3 | 381, 883, 243, 121, 242 |
| 11 | 127, 883, 81, 121, 242 |
| 11 | 127, 883, 81, 11, 22 |
| 127, 883, 81, 1, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 11 x 127 x 883 x 81 x 1 x 2 = 26378254584
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 381,883,972,242,968 is 26378254584.
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.
381 x 883 x 972 x 242 x 968 = 76602451311936
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.
381 : 1, 3, 127, 381
883 : 1, 883
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 381,883,972,242,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
381:3x 127
883:883
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
242:2x 11x 11
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 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 2x 3x 11x 11 = 2904
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2904.
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 = 76602451311936/(1x2904)
LCM = 76602451311936/2904
LCM = 26378254584
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 381,883,972,242,968 is 26378254584.
