Find LCM of 472,548,959,309,472 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 472, 548, 959, 309, 472 |
| 2 | 236, 274, 959, 309, 236 |
| 2 | 118, 137, 959, 309, 118 |
| 59 | 59, 137, 959, 309, 59 |
| 137 | 1, 137, 959, 309, 1 |
| 1, 1, 7, 309, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 59 x 137 x 1 x 1 x 7 x 309 x 1 = 139868232
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 472,548,959,309,472 is 139868232.
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.
472 x 548 x 959 x 309 x 472 = 36177757416192
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.
472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472
548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
309 : 1, 3, 103, 309
472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 472,548,959,309,472, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
472:2x 2x 2x 59
548:2x 2x 137
959:7x 137
309:3x 103
472:2x 2x 2x 59
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 59x 137 = 258656
Therefore, the value for common factors is 258656.
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 = 36177757416192/(1x258656)
LCM = 36177757416192/258656
LCM = 139868232
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 472,548,959,309,472 is 139868232.
