Find LCM of 960,685,286,208,356 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 960, 685, 286, 208, 356 |
| 2 | 480, 685, 143, 104, 178 |
| 2 | 240, 685, 143, 52, 89 |
| 2 | 120, 685, 143, 26, 89 |
| 5 | 60, 685, 143, 13, 89 |
| 13 | 12, 137, 143, 13, 89 |
| 12, 137, 11, 1, 89 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 13 x 12 x 137 x 11 x 1 x 89 = 1673855040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 960,685,286,208,356 is 1673855040.
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.
960 x 685 x 286 x 208 x 356 = 13926473932800
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.
960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960
685 : 1, 5, 137, 685
286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286
208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208
356 : 1, 2, 4, 89, 178, 356
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 960,685,286,208,356, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
685:5x 137
286:2x 11x 13
208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13
356:2x 2x 89
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 5x 13 = 8320
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8320.
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 = 13926473932800/(1x8320)
LCM = 13926473932800/8320
LCM = 1673855040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 960,685,286,208,356 is 1673855040.
