Find LCM of 956,334,972,696,468 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 956, 334, 972, 696, 468 |
| 2 | 478, 167, 486, 348, 234 |
| 3 | 239, 167, 243, 174, 117 |
| 3 | 239, 167, 81, 58, 39 |
| 239, 167, 27, 58, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 239 x 167 x 27 x 58 x 13 = 29251758744
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 956,334,972,696,468 is 29251758744.
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 334 x 972 x 696 x 468 = 101094078219264
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
334 : 1, 2, 167, 334
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
696 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 956,334,972,696,468, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
956:2x 2x 239
334:2x 167
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
696:2x 2x 2x 3x 29
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
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 3x 3 = 1728
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1728.
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 = 101094078219264/(2x1728)
LCM = 101094078219264/3456
LCM = 29251758744
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 956,334,972,696,468 is 29251758744.
