The LCM of 668,531,442,396 is 862295148.
Find LCM of 668,531,442,396 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 668, 531, 442, 396 |
| 2 | 334, 531, 221, 198 |
| 3 | 167, 531, 221, 99 |
| 3 | 167, 177, 221, 33 |
| 167, 59, 221, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 167 x 59 x 221 x 11 = 862295148
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 668,531,442,396 is 862295148.
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.
668 x 531 x 442 x 396 = 62085250656
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.
668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668
531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 668,531,442,396, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
668:2x 2x 167
531:3x 3x 59
442:2x 13x 17
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
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 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 62085250656/(1x72)
LCM = 62085250656/72
LCM = 862295148
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 668,531,442,396 is 862295148.
