The LCM of 736,278,985,976,896 is 172114203520.
Find LCM of 736,278,985,976,896 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 736, 278, 985, 976, 896 |
| 2 | 368, 139, 985, 488, 448 |
| 2 | 184, 139, 985, 244, 224 |
| 2 | 92, 139, 985, 122, 112 |
| 2 | 46, 139, 985, 61, 56 |
| 23, 139, 985, 61, 28 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 23 x 139 x 985 x 61 x 28 = 172114203520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 736,278,985,976,896 is 172114203520.
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.
736 x 278 x 985 x 976 x 896 = 176244944404480
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.
736 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 32, 46, 92, 184, 368, 736
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
976 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 61, 122, 244, 488, 976
896 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 448, 896
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 736,278,985,976,896, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
736:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 23
278:2x 139
985:5x 197
976:2x 2x 2x 2x 61
896:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
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 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2 = 1024
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1024.
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 = 176244944404480/(1x1024)
LCM = 176244944404480/1024
LCM = 172114203520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 736,278,985,976,896 is 172114203520.
