Find LCM of 520,288,146,524,936 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 520, 288, 146, 524, 936 |
| 2 | 260, 144, 73, 262, 468 |
| 2 | 130, 72, 73, 131, 234 |
| 3 | 65, 36, 73, 131, 117 |
| 3 | 65, 12, 73, 131, 39 |
| 13 | 65, 4, 73, 131, 13 |
| 5, 4, 73, 131, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 5 x 4 x 73 x 131 x 1 = 179019360
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 520,288,146,524,936 is 179019360.
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.
520 x 288 x 146 x 524 x 936 = 10723975741440
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.
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
288 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, 288
146 : 1, 2, 73, 146
524 : 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524
936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 520,288,146,524,936, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
288:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
146:2x 73
524:2x 2x 131
936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13
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 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13 = 29952
Therefore, the value for common factors is 29952.
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 = 10723975741440/(2x29952)
LCM = 10723975741440/59904
LCM = 179019360
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 520,288,146,524,936 is 179019360.
