Find LCM of 896,420,246,871,872 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 896, 420, 246, 871, 872 |
| 2 | 448, 210, 123, 871, 436 |
| 2 | 224, 105, 123, 871, 218 |
| 3 | 112, 105, 123, 871, 109 |
| 7 | 112, 35, 41, 871, 109 |
| 16, 5, 41, 871, 109 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 16 x 5 x 41 x 871 x 109 = 52315186560
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 896,420,246,871,872 is 52315186560.
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.
896 x 420 x 246 x 871 x 872 = 70311610736640
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.
896 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 448, 896
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246
871 : 1, 13, 67, 871
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 896,420,246,871,872, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
896:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
246:2x 3x 41
871:13x 67
872:2x 2x 2x 109
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 3x 7 = 1344
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1344.
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 = 70311610736640/(1x1344)
LCM = 70311610736640/1344
LCM = 52315186560
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 896,420,246,871,872 is 52315186560.
