Find LCM of 196,159,954,338,973 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 196, 159, 954, 338, 973 |
| 3 | 98, 159, 477, 169, 973 |
| 7 | 98, 53, 159, 169, 973 |
| 53 | 14, 53, 159, 169, 139 |
| 14, 1, 3, 169, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 53 x 14 x 1 x 3 x 169 x 139 = 2196220572
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 196,159,954,338,973 is 2196220572.
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.
196 x 159 x 954 x 338 x 973 = 9777573986544
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.
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
954 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 53, 106, 159, 318, 477, 954
338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 196,159,954,338,973, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
196:2x 2x 7x 7
159:3x 53
954:2x 3x 3x 53
338:2x 13x 13
973:7x 139
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 7x 53 = 4452
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4452.
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 = 9777573986544/(1x4452)
LCM = 9777573986544/4452
LCM = 2196220572
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 196,159,954,338,973 is 2196220572.
