Find LCM of 424,552,437,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 424, 552, 437, 956 |
| 2 | 212, 276, 437, 478 |
| 2 | 106, 138, 437, 239 |
| 23 | 53, 69, 437, 239 |
| 53, 3, 19, 239 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 23 x 53 x 3 x 19 x 239 = 132851496
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 424,552,437,956 is 132851496.
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.
424 x 552 x 437 x 956 = 97778701056
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.
424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424
552 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552
437 : 1, 19, 23, 437
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 424,552,437,956, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
424:2x 2x 2x 53
552:2x 2x 2x 3x 23
437:19x 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 23 = 736
Therefore, the value for common factors is 736.
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 = 97778701056/(1x736)
LCM = 97778701056/736
LCM = 132851496
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 424,552,437,956 is 132851496.
