Find LCM of 216,165,660,636,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 216, 165, 660, 636, 978 |
| 2 | 108, 165, 330, 318, 489 |
| 3 | 54, 165, 165, 159, 489 |
| 5 | 18, 55, 55, 53, 163 |
| 11 | 18, 11, 11, 53, 163 |
| 18, 1, 1, 53, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 11 x 18 x 1 x 1 x 53 x 163 = 102631320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 216,165,660,636,978 is 102631320.
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.
216 x 165 x 660 x 636 x 978 = 14631120979200
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.
216 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, 216
165 : 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 33, 55, 165
660 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660
636 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 53, 106, 159, 212, 318, 636
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 216,165,660,636,978, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
216:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
165:3x 5x 11
660:2x 2x 3x 5x 11
636:2x 2x 3x 53
978:2x 3x 163
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 2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5x 11 = 47520
Therefore, the value for common factors is 47520.
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 = 14631120979200/(3x47520)
LCM = 14631120979200/142560
LCM = 102631320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 216,165,660,636,978 is 102631320.
