Find LCM of 499,231,168,960,556 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 499, 231, 168, 960, 556 |
| 2 | 499, 231, 84, 480, 278 |
| 2 | 499, 231, 42, 240, 139 |
| 3 | 499, 231, 21, 120, 139 |
| 7 | 499, 77, 7, 40, 139 |
| 499, 11, 1, 40, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 499 x 11 x 1 x 40 x 139 = 5127165120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 499,231,168,960,556 is 5127165120.
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.
499 x 231 x 168 x 960 x 556 = 10336364881920
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.
499 : 1, 499
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 499,231,168,960,556, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
499:499
231:3x 7x 11
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
556:2x 2x 139
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 3x 7 = 2016
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2016.
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 = 10336364881920/(1x2016)
LCM = 10336364881920/2016
LCM = 5127165120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 499,231,168,960,556 is 5127165120.
