Find LCM of 493,320,145,16 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 493, 320, 145, 16 |
| 2 | 493, 160, 145, 8 |
| 2 | 493, 80, 145, 4 |
| 2 | 493, 40, 145, 2 |
| 5 | 493, 20, 145, 1 |
| 29 | 493, 4, 29, 1 |
| 17, 4, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 29 x 17 x 4 x 1 x 1 = 157760
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 493,320,145,16 is 157760.
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 320 x 145 x 16 = 366003200
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
320 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 160, 320
145 : 1, 5, 29, 145
16 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 493,320,145,16, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
493:17x 29
320:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
145:5x 29
16:2x 2x 2x 2
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 5x 29 = 2320
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2320.
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 = 366003200/(1x2320)
LCM = 366003200/2320
LCM = 157760
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 493,320,145,16 is 157760.
