Find LCM of 856,187,837,988,126 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 856, 187, 837, 988, 126 |
| 2 | 428, 187, 837, 494, 63 |
| 3 | 214, 187, 837, 247, 63 |
| 3 | 214, 187, 279, 247, 21 |
| 214, 187, 93, 247, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 214 x 187 x 93 x 247 x 7 = 231651876456
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 856,187,837,988,126 is 231651876456.
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.
856 x 187 x 837 x 988 x 126 = 16678935104832
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.
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
837 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 31, 93, 279, 837
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
126 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 126
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 856,187,837,988,126, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
856:2x 2x 2x 107
187:11x 17
837:3x 3x 3x 31
988:2x 2x 13x 19
126:2x 3x 3x 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 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 = 16678935104832/(1x72)
LCM = 16678935104832/72
LCM = 231651876456
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 856,187,837,988,126 is 231651876456.
