The LCM of 538,676,474,948 is 43097028.
Find LCM of 538,676,474,948 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 538, 676, 474, 948 |
| 2 | 269, 338, 237, 474 |
| 3 | 269, 169, 237, 237 |
| 79 | 269, 169, 79, 79 |
| 269, 169, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 79 x 269 x 169 x 1 x 1 = 43097028
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 538,676,474,948 is 43097028.
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.
538 x 676 x 474 x 948 = 163423930176
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.
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
676 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676
474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 538,676,474,948, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
538:2x 269
676:2x 2x 13x 13
474:2x 3x 79
948:2x 2x 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 3x 79 = 1896
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1896.
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 = 163423930176/(2x1896)
LCM = 163423930176/3792
LCM = 43097028
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 538,676,474,948 is 43097028.
