Find LCM of 608,604,672,178,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 608, 604, 672, 178, 972 |
| 2 | 304, 302, 336, 89, 486 |
| 2 | 152, 151, 168, 89, 243 |
| 2 | 76, 151, 84, 89, 243 |
| 2 | 38, 151, 42, 89, 243 |
| 3 | 19, 151, 21, 89, 243 |
| 19, 151, 7, 89, 81 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 151 x 7 x 89 x 81 = 13898721312
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 608,604,672,178,972 is 13898721312.
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.
608 x 604 x 672 x 178 x 972 = 42696871870464
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.
608 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 76, 152, 304, 608
604 : 1, 2, 4, 151, 302, 604
672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 608,604,672,178,972, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
608:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 19
604:2x 2x 151
672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
178:2x 89
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 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 2x 2x 2x 3 = 1536
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1536.
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 = 42696871870464/(2x1536)
LCM = 42696871870464/3072
LCM = 13898721312
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 608,604,672,178,972 is 13898721312.
