Find LCM of 959,731,870,537,860 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 959, 731, 870, 537, 860 |
| 3 | 959, 731, 435, 537, 430 |
| 5 | 959, 731, 145, 179, 430 |
| 43 | 959, 731, 29, 179, 86 |
| 959, 17, 29, 179, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 43 x 959 x 17 x 29 x 179 x 2 = 218342492340
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 959,731,870,537,860 is 218342492340.
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.
959 x 731 x 870 x 537 x 860 = 281661815118600
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.
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
870 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 29, 30, 58, 87, 145, 174, 290, 435, 870
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 959,731,870,537,860, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
959:7x 137
731:17x 43
870:2x 3x 5x 29
537:3x 179
860:2x 2x 5x 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 3x 5x 43 = 1290
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1290.
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 = 281661815118600/(1x1290)
LCM = 281661815118600/1290
LCM = 218342492340
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 959,731,870,537,860 is 218342492340.
