The LCM of 243,504,168,662 is 4504248.
Find LCM of 243,504,168,662 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 243, 504, 168, 662 |
| 2 | 243, 252, 84, 331 |
| 2 | 243, 126, 42, 331 |
| 3 | 243, 63, 21, 331 |
| 3 | 81, 7, 21, 331 |
| 7 | 27, 7, 7, 331 |
| 27, 1, 1, 331 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 27 x 1 x 1 x 331 = 4504248
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 243,504,168,662 is 4504248.
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 504 x 168 x 662 = 13620845952
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
504 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, 36, 42, 56, 63, 72, 84, 126, 168, 252, 504
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
662 : 1, 2, 331, 662
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 243,504,168,662, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
243:3x 3x 3x 3x 3
504:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 7
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
662:2x 331
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 3x 3x 3x 7 = 3024
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3024.
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 = 13620845952/(1x3024)
LCM = 13620845952/3024
LCM = 4504248
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 243,504,168,662 is 4504248.
