Find LCM of 987,471,672,676,975 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 987, 471, 672, 676, 975 |
| 2 | 987, 471, 336, 338, 975 |
| 3 | 987, 471, 168, 169, 975 |
| 7 | 329, 157, 56, 169, 325 |
| 13 | 47, 157, 8, 169, 325 |
| 47, 157, 8, 13, 25 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 13 x 47 x 157 x 8 x 13 x 25 = 20950456800
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 987,471,672,676,975 is 20950456800.
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.
987 x 471 x 672 x 676 x 975 = 205901089430400
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.
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
471 : 1, 3, 157, 471
672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672
676 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676
975 : 1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 25, 39, 65, 75, 195, 325, 975
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 987,471,672,676,975, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
987:3x 7x 47
471:3x 157
672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
676:2x 2x 13x 13
975:3x 5x 5x 13
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 3x 3x 7x 13 = 9828
Therefore, the value for common factors is 9828.
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 = 205901089430400/(1x9828)
LCM = 205901089430400/9828
LCM = 20950456800
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 987,471,672,676,975 is 20950456800.
