Find LCM of 871,978,538,540,160 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 871, 978, 538, 540, 160 |
| 2 | 871, 489, 269, 270, 80 |
| 3 | 871, 489, 269, 135, 40 |
| 5 | 871, 163, 269, 45, 40 |
| 871, 163, 269, 9, 8 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 871 x 163 x 269 x 9 x 8 = 164983983840
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 871,978,538,540,160 is 164983983840.
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.
871 x 978 x 538 x 540 x 160 = 39596156121600
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.
871 : 1, 13, 67, 871
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 871,978,538,540,160, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
871:13x 67
978:2x 3x 163
538:2x 269
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 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 5 = 240
Therefore, the value for common factors is 240.
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 = 39596156121600/(1x240)
LCM = 39596156121600/240
LCM = 164983983840
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 871,978,538,540,160 is 164983983840.
