Find LCM of 243,162,278,591,227 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 243, 162, 278, 591, 227 |
| 3 | 243, 81, 139, 591, 227 |
| 3 | 27, 81, 139, 197, 227 |
| 3 | 9, 27, 139, 197, 227 |
| 3 | 3, 9, 139, 197, 227 |
| 1, 3, 139, 197, 227 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 3 x 139 x 197 x 227 = 3020947326
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 243,162,278,591,227 is 3020947326.
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.
243 x 162 x 278 x 591 x 227 = 1468180400436
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.
243 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
591 : 1, 3, 197, 591
227 : 1, 227
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 243,162,278,591,227, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
243:3x 3x 3x 3x 3
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
278:2x 139
591:3x 197
227:227
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 3x 3x 3x 3 = 486
Therefore, the value for common factors is 486.
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 = 1468180400436/(1x486)
LCM = 1468180400436/486
LCM = 3020947326
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 243,162,278,591,227 is 3020947326.
