Find LCM of 680,986,873,960 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 680, 986, 873, 960 |
| 2 | 340, 493, 873, 480 |
| 2 | 170, 493, 873, 240 |
| 3 | 85, 493, 873, 120 |
| 5 | 85, 493, 291, 40 |
| 17 | 17, 493, 291, 8 |
| 1, 29, 291, 8 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 1 x 29 x 291 x 8 = 137724480
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 680,986,873,960 is 137724480.
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.
680 x 986 x 873 x 960 = 561915878400
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.
680 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 17, 20, 34, 40, 68, 85, 136, 170, 340, 680
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
873 : 1, 3, 9, 97, 291, 873
960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 680,986,873,960, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
680:2x 2x 2x 5x 17
986:2x 17x 29
873:3x 3x 97
960:2x 2x 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 2x 3x 5x 17 = 4080
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4080.
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 = 561915878400/(1x4080)
LCM = 561915878400/4080
LCM = 137724480
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 680,986,873,960 is 137724480.
