The LCM of 661,956,240,717 is 37914960.
Find LCM of 661,956,240,717 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 661, 956, 240, 717 |
| 2 | 661, 478, 120, 717 |
| 3 | 661, 239, 60, 717 |
| 239 | 661, 239, 20, 239 |
| 661, 1, 20, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 239 x 661 x 1 x 20 x 1 = 37914960
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 661,956,240,717 is 37914960.
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.
661 x 956 x 240 x 717 = 108740105280
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.
661 : 1, 661
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
717 : 1, 3, 239, 717
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 661,956,240,717, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
661:661
956:2x 2x 239
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
717:3x 239
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 3x 239 = 2868
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2868.
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 = 108740105280/(1x2868)
LCM = 108740105280/2868
LCM = 37914960
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 661,956,240,717 is 37914960.
