The LCM of 957,286,261,360 is 1492920.
Find LCM of 957,286,261,360 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 957, 286, 261, 360 |
| 3 | 957, 143, 261, 180 |
| 3 | 319, 143, 87, 60 |
| 11 | 319, 143, 29, 20 |
| 29 | 29, 13, 29, 20 |
| 1, 13, 1, 20 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 29 x 1 x 13 x 1 x 20 = 1492920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 957,286,261,360 is 1492920.
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.
957 x 286 x 261 x 360 = 25717039920
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.
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
360 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 957,286,261,360, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
957:3x 11x 29
286:2x 11x 13
261:3x 3x 29
360:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 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 3x 3x 3x 11x 29 = 17226
Therefore, the value for common factors is 17226.
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 = 25717039920/(1x17226)
LCM = 25717039920/17226
LCM = 1492920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 957,286,261,360 is 1492920.
