Find LCM of 396,847,242,172 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 396, 847, 242, 172 |
| 2 | 198, 847, 121, 86 |
| 11 | 99, 847, 121, 43 |
| 11 | 9, 77, 11, 43 |
| 9, 7, 1, 43 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 11 x 11 x 9 x 7 x 1 x 43 = 1311156
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 396,847,242,172 is 1311156.
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.
396 x 847 x 242 x 172 = 13961189088
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.
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
847 : 1, 7, 11, 77, 121, 847
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 396,847,242,172, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
847:7x 11x 11
242:2x 11x 11
172:2x 2x 43
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 11x 11x 11 = 10648
Therefore, the value for common factors is 10648.
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 = 13961189088/(1x10648)
LCM = 13961189088/10648
LCM = 1311156
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 396,847,242,172 is 1311156.
