Find LCM of 437,240,235,588,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 437, 240, 235, 588, 968 |
| 2 | 437, 120, 235, 294, 484 |
| 2 | 437, 60, 235, 147, 242 |
| 3 | 437, 30, 235, 147, 121 |
| 5 | 437, 10, 235, 49, 121 |
| 437, 2, 47, 49, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 437 x 2 x 47 x 49 x 121 = 29226175440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 437,240,235,588,968 is 29226175440.
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.
437 x 240 x 235 x 588 x 968 = 14028564211200
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.
437 : 1, 19, 23, 437
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
235 : 1, 5, 47, 235
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 437,240,235,588,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
437:19x 23
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
235:5x 47
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
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 5 = 480
Therefore, the value for common factors is 480.
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 = 14028564211200/(1x480)
LCM = 14028564211200/480
LCM = 29226175440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 437,240,235,588,968 is 29226175440.
