Find LCM of 520,918,432,956,159 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 520, 918, 432, 956, 159 |
| 2 | 260, 459, 216, 478, 159 |
| 2 | 130, 459, 108, 239, 159 |
| 3 | 65, 459, 54, 239, 159 |
| 3 | 65, 153, 18, 239, 53 |
| 3 | 65, 51, 6, 239, 53 |
| 65, 17, 2, 239, 53 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 65 x 17 x 2 x 239 x 53 = 6046719120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 520,918,432,956,159 is 6046719120.
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 918 x 432 x 956 x 159 = 31346191918080
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
918 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 27, 34, 51, 54, 102, 153, 306, 459, 918
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 520,918,432,956,159, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
918:2x 3x 3x 3x 17
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
956:2x 2x 239
159:3x 53
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 3x 3x 3x 3 = 5184
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5184.
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 = 31346191918080/(1x5184)
LCM = 31346191918080/5184
LCM = 6046719120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 520,918,432,956,159 is 6046719120.
