Find LCM of 636,261,548,135,540 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 636, 261, 548, 135, 540 |
| 2 | 318, 261, 274, 135, 270 |
| 3 | 159, 261, 137, 135, 135 |
| 3 | 53, 87, 137, 45, 45 |
| 3 | 53, 29, 137, 15, 15 |
| 5 | 53, 29, 137, 5, 5 |
| 53, 29, 137, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 53 x 29 x 137 x 1 x 1 = 113707260
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 636,261,548,135,540 is 113707260.
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.
636 x 261 x 548 x 135 x 540 = 6631407403200
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.
636 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 53, 106, 159, 212, 318, 636
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548
135 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 135
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 636,261,548,135,540, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
636:2x 2x 3x 53
261:3x 3x 29
548:2x 2x 137
135:3x 3x 3x 5
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
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 3x 3x 3x 3x 3x 5 = 58320
Therefore, the value for common factors is 58320.
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 = 6631407403200/(1x58320)
LCM = 6631407403200/58320
LCM = 113707260
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 636,261,548,135,540 is 113707260.
