Find LCM of 988,543,855,978,948 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 988, 543, 855, 978, 948 |
| 2 | 494, 543, 855, 489, 474 |
| 3 | 247, 543, 855, 489, 237 |
| 19 | 247, 181, 285, 163, 79 |
| 13, 181, 15, 163, 79 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 13 x 181 x 15 x 163 x 79 = 103624567020
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,543,855,978,948 is 103624567020.
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.
988 x 543 x 855 x 978 x 948 = 425275223050080
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.
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
543 : 1, 3, 181, 543
855 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, 855
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,543,855,978,948, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
988:2x 2x 13x 19
543:3x 181
855:3x 3x 5x 19
978:2x 3x 163
948:2x 2x 3x 79
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 3x 3x 19 = 4104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4104.
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 = 425275223050080/(1x4104)
LCM = 425275223050080/4104
LCM = 103624567020
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,543,855,978,948 is 103624567020.
