Find LCM of 956,288,726,496,305 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 956, 288, 726, 496, 305 |
| 2 | 478, 144, 363, 248, 305 |
| 2 | 239, 72, 363, 124, 305 |
| 2 | 239, 36, 363, 62, 305 |
| 3 | 239, 18, 363, 31, 305 |
| 239, 6, 121, 31, 305 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 239 x 6 x 121 x 31 x 305 = 78747593760
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 956,288,726,496,305 is 78747593760.
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.
956 x 288 x 726 x 496 x 305 = 30239076003840
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.
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
288 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, 288
726 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 121, 242, 363, 726
496 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496
305 : 1, 5, 61, 305
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 956,288,726,496,305, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
956:2x 2x 239
288:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
726:2x 3x 11x 11
496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31
305:5x 61
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 3 = 384
Therefore, the value for common factors is 384.
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 = 30239076003840/(1x384)
LCM = 30239076003840/384
LCM = 78747593760
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 956,288,726,496,305 is 78747593760.
