Find LCM of 162,972,355,953,994 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 162, 972, 355, 953, 994 |
| 3 | 81, 486, 355, 953, 497 |
| 3 | 27, 162, 355, 953, 497 |
| 3 | 9, 54, 355, 953, 497 |
| 3 | 3, 18, 355, 953, 497 |
| 71 | 1, 6, 355, 953, 497 |
| 1, 6, 5, 953, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 71 x 1 x 6 x 5 x 953 x 7 = 2301895260
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 162,972,355,953,994 is 2301895260.
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 972 x 355 x 953 x 994 = 52952798561040
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
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
355 : 1, 5, 71, 355
953 : 1, 953
994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 162,972,355,953,994, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
355:5x 71
953:953
994:2x 7x 71
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 3x 71 = 23004
Therefore, the value for common factors is 23004.
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 = 52952798561040/(1x23004)
LCM = 52952798561040/23004
LCM = 2301895260
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 162,972,355,953,994 is 2301895260.
