Find LCM of 684,408,731,281 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 684, 408, 731, 281 |
| 2 | 342, 204, 731, 281 |
| 3 | 171, 102, 731, 281 |
| 17 | 57, 34, 731, 281 |
| 57, 2, 43, 281 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 57 x 2 x 43 x 281 = 281002248
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 684,408,731,281 is 281002248.
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.
684 x 408 x 731 x 281 = 57324458592
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.
684 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 36, 38, 57, 76, 114, 171, 228, 342, 684
408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
281 : 1, 281
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 684,408,731,281, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
684:2x 2x 3x 3x 19
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
731:17x 43
281:281
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 17 = 204
Therefore, the value for common factors is 204.
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 = 57324458592/(1x204)
LCM = 57324458592/204
LCM = 281002248
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 684,408,731,281 is 281002248.
