Find LCM of 493,156,462,638 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 493, 156, 462, 638 |
| 3 | 493, 78, 231, 319 |
| 11 | 493, 26, 77, 319 |
| 29 | 493, 26, 7, 29 |
| 17, 26, 7, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 29 x 17 x 26 x 7 x 1 = 5921916
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 493,156,462,638 is 5921916.
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.
493 x 156 x 462 x 638 = 22669094448
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.
493 : 1, 17, 29, 493
156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 493,156,462,638, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
493:17x 29
156:2x 2x 3x 13
462:2x 3x 7x 11
638:2x 11x 29
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 3x 11x 29 = 3828
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3828.
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 = 22669094448/(1x3828)
LCM = 22669094448/3828
LCM = 5921916
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 493,156,462,638 is 5921916.
