Find LCM of 872,240,309,981,303 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 872, 240, 309, 981, 303 |
| 2 | 436, 120, 309, 981, 303 |
| 2 | 218, 60, 309, 981, 303 |
| 3 | 109, 30, 309, 981, 303 |
| 109 | 109, 10, 103, 327, 101 |
| 1, 10, 103, 3, 101 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 109 x 1 x 10 x 103 x 3 x 101 = 816427440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 872,240,309,981,303 is 816427440.
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.
872 x 240 x 309 x 981 x 303 = 19221967647360
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.
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
309 : 1, 3, 103, 309
981 : 1, 3, 9, 109, 327, 981
303 : 1, 3, 101, 303
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 872,240,309,981,303, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
872:2x 2x 2x 109
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
309:3x 103
981:3x 3x 109
303:3x 101
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 3x 3x 109 = 23544
Therefore, the value for common factors is 23544.
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 = 19221967647360/(1x23544)
LCM = 19221967647360/23544
LCM = 816427440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 872,240,309,981,303 is 816427440.
