The LCM of 520,541,986,952 is 970835320.
Find LCM of 520,541,986,952 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 520, 541, 986, 952 |
| 2 | 260, 541, 493, 476 |
| 2 | 130, 541, 493, 238 |
| 17 | 65, 541, 493, 119 |
| 65, 541, 29, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 65 x 541 x 29 x 7 = 970835320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 520,541,986,952 is 970835320.
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 541 x 986 x 952 = 264067207040
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
541 : 1, 541
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 520,541,986,952, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
541:541
986:2x 17x 29
952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17
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 17 = 272
Therefore, the value for common factors is 272.
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 = 264067207040/(1x272)
LCM = 264067207040/272
LCM = 970835320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 520,541,986,952 is 970835320.
