The LCM of 512,556,496,237 is 522871296.
Find LCM of 512,556,496,237 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 512, 556, 496, 237 |
| 2 | 256, 278, 248, 237 |
| 2 | 128, 139, 124, 237 |
| 2 | 64, 139, 62, 237 |
| 32, 139, 31, 237 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 32 x 139 x 31 x 237 = 522871296
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 512,556,496,237 is 522871296.
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.
512 x 556 x 496 x 237 = 33463762944
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.
512 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
496 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496
237 : 1, 3, 79, 237
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 512,556,496,237, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
512:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2
556:2x 2x 139
496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31
237:3x 79
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 2 = 64
Therefore, the value for common factors is 64.
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 = 33463762944/(1x64)
LCM = 33463762944/64
LCM = 522871296
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 512,556,496,237 is 522871296.
