Find LCM of 162,721,378,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 162, 721, 378, 986 |
| 3 | 81, 721, 189, 493 |
| 3 | 27, 721, 63, 493 |
| 3 | 9, 721, 21, 493 |
| 7 | 3, 721, 7, 493 |
| 3, 103, 1, 493 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 3 x 103 x 1 x 493 = 57583386
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 162,721,378,986 is 57583386.
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.
162 x 721 x 378 x 986 = 43533039816
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.
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
721 : 1, 7, 103, 721
378 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 162,721,378,986, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
721:7x 103
378:2x 3x 3x 3x 7
986:2x 17x 29
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 = 43533039816/(1x756)
LCM = 43533039816/756
LCM = 57583386
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 162,721,378,986 is 57583386.
