The LCM of 426,978,848,240 is 147208560.
Find LCM of 426,978,848,240 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 426, 978, 848, 240 |
| 2 | 213, 489, 424, 120 |
| 2 | 213, 489, 212, 60 |
| 2 | 213, 489, 106, 30 |
| 3 | 213, 489, 53, 15 |
| 71, 163, 53, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 71 x 163 x 53 x 5 = 147208560
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 426,978,848,240 is 147208560.
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.
426 x 978 x 848 x 240 = 84792130560
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.
426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
848 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 426,978,848,240, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
426:2x 3x 71
978:2x 3x 163
848:2x 2x 2x 2x 53
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 2x 2x 2x 3x 3 = 288
Therefore, the value for common factors is 288.
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 = 84792130560/(2x288)
LCM = 84792130560/576
LCM = 147208560
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 426,978,848,240 is 147208560.
