The LCM of 663,240,160,987 is 34900320.
Find LCM of 663,240,160,987 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 663, 240, 160, 987 |
| 2 | 663, 120, 80, 987 |
| 2 | 663, 60, 40, 987 |
| 2 | 663, 30, 20, 987 |
| 3 | 663, 15, 10, 987 |
| 5 | 221, 5, 10, 329 |
| 221, 1, 2, 329 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 221 x 1 x 2 x 329 = 34900320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 663,240,160,987 is 34900320.
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.
663 x 240 x 160 x 987 = 25128230400
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.
663 : 1, 3, 13, 17, 39, 51, 221, 663
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 663,240,160,987, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
663:3x 13x 17
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
987:3x 7x 47
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 5 = 720
Therefore, the value for common factors is 720.
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 = 25128230400/(1x720)
LCM = 25128230400/720
LCM = 34900320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 663,240,160,987 is 34900320.
