Find LCM of 957,428,261,108,172 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 957, 428, 261, 108, 172 |
| 2 | 957, 214, 261, 54, 86 |
| 3 | 957, 107, 261, 27, 43 |
| 3 | 319, 107, 87, 9, 43 |
| 29 | 319, 107, 29, 3, 43 |
| 11, 107, 1, 3, 43 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 29 x 11 x 107 x 1 x 3 x 43 = 158513652
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 957,428,261,108,172 is 158513652.
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 428 x 261 x 108 x 172 = 1985859032256
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
428 : 1, 2, 4, 107, 214, 428
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
108 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 957,428,261,108,172, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
957:3x 11x 29
428:2x 2x 107
261:3x 3x 29
108:2x 2x 3x 3x 3
172:2x 2x 43
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 3x 3x 3x 29 = 12528
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12528.
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 = 1985859032256/(1x12528)
LCM = 1985859032256/12528
LCM = 158513652
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 957,428,261,108,172 is 158513652.
