Find LCM of 988,815,507,960 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 988, 815, 507, 960 |
| 2 | 494, 815, 507, 480 |
| 3 | 247, 815, 507, 240 |
| 5 | 247, 815, 169, 80 |
| 13 | 247, 163, 169, 16 |
| 19, 163, 13, 16 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 13 x 19 x 163 x 13 x 16 = 502457280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,815,507,960 is 502457280.
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 815 x 507 x 960 = 391916678400
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
815 : 1, 5, 163, 815
507 : 1, 3, 13, 39, 169, 507
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
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,815,507,960, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
988:2x 2x 13x 19
815:5x 163
507:3x 13x 13
960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
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 13 = 780
Therefore, the value for common factors is 780.
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 = 391916678400/(1x780)
LCM = 391916678400/780
LCM = 502457280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,815,507,960 is 502457280.
