The LCM of 556,156,973,468 is 455364.
Find LCM of 556,156,973,468 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 556, 156, 973, 468 |
| 2 | 278, 78, 973, 234 |
| 3 | 139, 39, 973, 117 |
| 13 | 139, 13, 973, 39 |
| 139 | 139, 1, 973, 3 |
| 1, 1, 7, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 139 x 1 x 1 x 7 x 3 = 455364
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 556,156,973,468 is 455364.
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.
556 x 156 x 973 x 468 = 39496451904
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.
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 556,156,973,468, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
556:2x 2x 139
156:2x 2x 3x 13
973:7x 139
468:2x 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 3x 13x 139 = 86736
Therefore, the value for common factors is 86736.
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 = 39496451904/(1x86736)
LCM = 39496451904/86736
LCM = 455364
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 556,156,973,468 is 455364.
