Find LCM of 985,540,257,840,707 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 985, 540, 257, 840, 707 |
| 2 | 985, 270, 257, 420, 707 |
| 3 | 985, 135, 257, 210, 707 |
| 5 | 985, 45, 257, 70, 707 |
| 7 | 197, 9, 257, 14, 707 |
| 197, 9, 257, 2, 101 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 197 x 9 x 257 x 2 x 101 = 38658279240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,540,257,840,707 is 38658279240.
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.
985 x 540 x 257 x 840 x 707 = 81182386404000
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.
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
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
257 : 1, 257
840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840
707 : 1, 7, 101, 707
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,540,257,840,707, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
985:5x 197
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
257:257
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
707:7x 101
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 3x 5x 5x 7 = 2100
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2100.
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 = 81182386404000/(1x2100)
LCM = 81182386404000/2100
LCM = 38658279240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,540,257,840,707 is 38658279240.
