Find LCM of 460,252,887,744,940 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 460, 252, 887, 744, 940 |
| 2 | 230, 126, 887, 372, 470 |
| 3 | 115, 63, 887, 186, 235 |
| 5 | 115, 21, 887, 62, 235 |
| 23, 21, 887, 62, 47 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 23 x 21 x 887 x 62 x 47 = 74905127640
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 460,252,887,744,940 is 74905127640.
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.
460 x 252 x 887 x 744 x 940 = 71908922534400
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.
460 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 46, 92, 115, 230, 460
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
887 : 1, 887
744 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 248, 372, 744
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 460,252,887,744,940, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
460:2x 2x 5x 23
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
887:887
744:2x 2x 2x 3x 31
940:2x 2x 5x 47
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 2x 3x 5 = 960
Therefore, the value for common factors is 960.
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 = 71908922534400/(1x960)
LCM = 71908922534400/960
LCM = 74905127640
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 460,252,887,744,940 is 74905127640.
