Find LCM of 420,251,159,377,360 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 420, 251, 159, 377, 360 |
| 2 | 210, 251, 159, 377, 180 |
| 3 | 105, 251, 159, 377, 90 |
| 5 | 35, 251, 53, 377, 30 |
| 7, 251, 53, 377, 6 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 251 x 53 x 377 x 6 = 12638382120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,251,159,377,360 is 12638382120.
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.
420 x 251 x 159 x 377 x 360 = 2274908781600
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.
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
251 : 1, 251
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
377 : 1, 13, 29, 377
360 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,251,159,377,360, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
251:251
159:3x 53
377:13x 29
360:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
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 3x 5 = 180
Therefore, the value for common factors is 180.
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 = 2274908781600/(1x180)
LCM = 2274908781600/180
LCM = 12638382120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,251,159,377,360 is 12638382120.
