The LCM of 429,968,985,728 is 260300040.
Find LCM of 429,968,985,728 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 429, 968, 985, 728 |
| 2 | 429, 484, 985, 364 |
| 2 | 429, 242, 985, 182 |
| 11 | 429, 121, 985, 91 |
| 13 | 39, 11, 985, 91 |
| 3, 11, 985, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 13 x 3 x 11 x 985 x 7 = 260300040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 429,968,985,728 is 260300040.
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.
429 x 968 x 985 x 728 = 297783245760
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.
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
728 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 56, 91, 104, 182, 364, 728
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 429,968,985,728, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
429:3x 11x 13
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
985:5x 197
728:2x 2x 2x 7x 13
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 13 = 1144
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1144.
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 = 297783245760/(1x1144)
LCM = 297783245760/1144
LCM = 260300040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 429,968,985,728 is 260300040.
