Find LCM of 551,160,986,288 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 551, 160, 986, 288 |
| 2 | 551, 80, 493, 144 |
| 2 | 551, 40, 493, 72 |
| 2 | 551, 20, 493, 36 |
| 2 | 551, 10, 493, 18 |
| 29 | 551, 5, 493, 9 |
| 19, 5, 17, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 29 x 19 x 5 x 17 x 9 = 13488480
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 551,160,986,288 is 13488480.
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.
551 x 160 x 986 x 288 = 25034618880
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.
551 : 1, 19, 29, 551
160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
288 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, 288
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 551,160,986,288, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
551:19x 29
160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
986:2x 17x 29
288:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
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 29 = 1856
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1856.
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 = 25034618880/(1x1856)
LCM = 25034618880/1856
LCM = 13488480
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 551,160,986,288 is 13488480.
