The LCM of 206,154,972,396 is 7708932.
Find LCM of 206,154,972,396 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 206, 154, 972, 396 |
| 2 | 103, 77, 486, 198 |
| 3 | 103, 77, 243, 99 |
| 3 | 103, 77, 81, 33 |
| 11 | 103, 77, 27, 11 |
| 103, 7, 27, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 103 x 7 x 27 x 1 = 7708932
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 206,154,972,396 is 7708932.
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.
206 x 154 x 972 x 396 = 12210948288
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.
206 : 1, 2, 103, 206
154 : 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, 154
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 206,154,972,396, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
206:2x 103
154:2x 7x 11
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
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 2x 3x 3x 11 = 792
Therefore, the value for common factors is 792.
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 = 12210948288/(2x792)
LCM = 12210948288/1584
LCM = 7708932
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 206,154,972,396 is 7708932.
