Given numbers are 147,518,141,642,972
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 147,518,141,642,972 is 8862284844.
Find LCM of 147,518,141,642,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 147, 518, 141, 642, 972 |
| 3 | 147, 259, 141, 321, 486 |
| 7 | 49, 259, 47, 107, 162 |
| 7, 37, 47, 107, 162 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 37 x 47 x 107 x 162 = 8862284844
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 147,518,141,642,972 is 8862284844.
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.
147 x 518 x 141 x 642 x 972 = 6699887342064
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.
147 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
141 : 1, 3, 47, 141
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 147,518,141,642,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
147:3x 7x 7
518:2x 7x 37
141:3x 47
642:2x 3x 107
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 7 = 756
Therefore, the value for common factors is 756.
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 = 6699887342064/(1x756)
LCM = 6699887342064/756
LCM = 8862284844
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 147,518,141,642,972 is 8862284844.
