Find LCM of 978,238,540,901,742 with Prime Factorization


2 978, 238, 540, 901, 742
3 489, 119, 270, 901, 371
7 163, 119, 90, 901, 371
17 163, 17, 90, 901, 53
53 163, 1, 90, 53, 53
163, 1, 90, 1, 1

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 3 x 7 x 17 x 53 x 163 x 1 x 90 x 1 x 1 = 555142140

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,238,540,901,742 is 555142140.

LCM Formula to Find Lowest Common Multiple of 978,238,540,901,742

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.

978 x 238 x 540 x 901 x 742 = 84030755447520

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.

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238

540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540

901 : 1, 17, 53, 901

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,238,540,901,742, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

978:2x 3x 163

238:2x 7x 17

540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5

901:17x 53

742:2x 7x 53

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 3x 7x 17x 53 = 151368

Therefore, the value for common factors is 151368.

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 = 84030755447520/(1x151368)

LCM = 84030755447520/151368

LCM = 555142140

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,238,540,901,742 is 555142140.
