The LCM of 195,362,845,972 is 148662540.
Find LCM of 195,362,845,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 195, 362, 845, 972 |
| 3 | 195, 181, 845, 486 |
| 5 | 65, 181, 845, 162 |
| 13 | 13, 181, 169, 162 |
| 1, 181, 13, 162 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 13 x 1 x 181 x 13 x 162 = 148662540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 195,362,845,972 is 148662540.
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.
195 x 362 x 845 x 972 = 57978390600
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.
195 : 1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 39, 65, 195
362 : 1, 2, 181, 362
845 : 1, 5, 13, 65, 169, 845
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 195,362,845,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
195:3x 5x 13
362:2x 181
845:5x 13x 13
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 3x 5x 13 = 390
Therefore, the value for common factors is 390.
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 = 57978390600/(1x390)
LCM = 57978390600/390
LCM = 148662540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 195,362,845,972 is 148662540.
