Find LCM of 560,721,240,742 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 560, 721, 240, 742 |
| 2 | 280, 721, 120, 371 |
| 2 | 140, 721, 60, 371 |
| 2 | 70, 721, 30, 371 |
| 5 | 35, 721, 15, 371 |
| 7 | 7, 721, 3, 371 |
| 1, 103, 3, 53 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 103 x 3 x 53 = 9171120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 560,721,240,742 is 9171120.
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.
560 x 721 x 240 x 742 = 71901580800
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.
560 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 80, 112, 140, 280, 560
721 : 1, 7, 103, 721
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 560,721,240,742, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
560:2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 7
721:7x 103
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
742:2x 7x 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 5x 7x 7 = 7840
Therefore, the value for common factors is 7840.
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 = 71901580800/(1x7840)
LCM = 71901580800/7840
LCM = 9171120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 560,721,240,742 is 9171120.
