The LCM of 648,918,221,257 is 36804456.
Find LCM of 648,918,221,257 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 648, 918, 221, 257 |
| 3 | 324, 459, 221, 257 |
| 3 | 108, 153, 221, 257 |
| 3 | 36, 51, 221, 257 |
| 17 | 12, 17, 221, 257 |
| 12, 1, 13, 257 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 17 x 12 x 1 x 13 x 257 = 36804456
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 648,918,221,257 is 36804456.
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.
648 x 918 x 221 x 257 = 33786490608
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.
648 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 81, 108, 162, 216, 324, 648
918 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 27, 34, 51, 54, 102, 153, 306, 459, 918
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
257 : 1, 257
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 648,918,221,257, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
648:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3
918:2x 3x 3x 3x 17
221:13x 17
257:257
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 3x 17 = 918
Therefore, the value for common factors is 918.
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 = 33786490608/(1x918)
LCM = 33786490608/918
LCM = 36804456
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 648,918,221,257 is 36804456.
