Find LCM of 389,520,208,506,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 389, 520, 208, 506, 956 |
| 2 | 389, 260, 104, 253, 478 |
| 2 | 389, 130, 52, 253, 239 |
| 13 | 389, 65, 26, 253, 239 |
| 389, 5, 2, 253, 239 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 389 x 5 x 2 x 253 x 239 = 24462529520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 389,520,208,506,956 is 24462529520.
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.
389 x 520 x 208 x 506 x 956 = 20352824560640
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.
389 : 1, 389
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208
506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 389,520,208,506,956, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
389:389
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13
506:2x 11x 23
956:2x 2x 239
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 13 = 832
Therefore, the value for common factors is 832.
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 = 20352824560640/(1x832)
LCM = 20352824560640/832
LCM = 24462529520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 389,520,208,506,956 is 24462529520.
