Find LCM of 638,172,561,221,240 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 638, 172, 561, 221, 240 |
| 2 | 319, 86, 561, 221, 120 |
| 3 | 319, 43, 561, 221, 60 |
| 11 | 319, 43, 187, 221, 20 |
| 17 | 29, 43, 17, 221, 20 |
| 29, 43, 1, 13, 20 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 17 x 29 x 43 x 1 x 13 x 20 = 727549680
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 638,172,561,221,240 is 727549680.
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.
638 x 172 x 561 x 221 x 240 = 3265242963840
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.
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
561 : 1, 3, 11, 17, 33, 51, 187, 561
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 638,172,561,221,240, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
638:2x 11x 29
172:2x 2x 43
561:3x 11x 17
221:13x 17
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 3x 11x 17 = 4488
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4488.
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 = 3265242963840/(1x4488)
LCM = 3265242963840/4488
LCM = 727549680
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 638,172,561,221,240 is 727549680.
