Find LCM of 8,480,959,128 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 8, 480, 959, 128 |
| 2 | 4, 240, 959, 64 |
| 2 | 2, 120, 959, 32 |
| 2 | 1, 60, 959, 16 |
| 2 | 1, 30, 959, 8 |
| 1, 15, 959, 4 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 15 x 959 x 4 = 1841280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8,480,959,128 is 1841280.
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.
8 x 480 x 959 x 128 = 471367680
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.
8 : 1, 2, 4, 8
480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
128 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8,480,959,128, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
8:2x 2x 2
480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
959:7x 137
128:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2
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 2 = 256
Therefore, the value for common factors is 256.
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 = 471367680/(1x256)
LCM = 471367680/256
LCM = 1841280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8,480,959,128 is 1841280.
