Find Least Common Multiple of 111132 and 315 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 111132, 315 ) = 555660
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
111132 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 7 · 7 · 7
315 = 3 · 3 · 5 · 7
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 111132 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 7 | · | 7 | · | 7 | ||
| 315 | = | 3 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 111132 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 7 | · | 7 | · | 7 | ||||
| 315 | = | 3 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | ||||||||||||||
| LCM | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | · | 7 | · | 7 | = | 555660 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
