Find LCM of 612,255,657,656,178 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 612, 255, 657, 656, 178 |
| 2 | 306, 255, 657, 328, 89 |
| 3 | 153, 255, 657, 164, 89 |
| 3 | 51, 85, 219, 164, 89 |
| 17 | 17, 85, 73, 164, 89 |
| 1, 5, 73, 164, 89 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 17 x 1 x 5 x 73 x 164 x 89 = 3260454480
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 612,255,657,656,178 is 3260454480.
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.
612 x 255 x 657 x 656 x 178 = 11972388850560
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.
612 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612
255 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
657 : 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, 657
656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 612,255,657,656,178, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
612:2x 2x 3x 3x 17
255:3x 5x 17
657:3x 3x 73
656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41
178:2x 89
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 3x 3x 17 = 3672
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3672.
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 = 11972388850560/(1x3672)
LCM = 11972388850560/3672
LCM = 3260454480
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 612,255,657,656,178 is 3260454480.
