Find LCM of 243,846,346,972,980 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 243, 846, 346, 972, 980 |
| 2 | 243, 423, 173, 486, 490 |
| 3 | 243, 423, 173, 243, 245 |
| 3 | 81, 141, 173, 81, 245 |
| 3 | 27, 47, 173, 27, 245 |
| 3 | 9, 47, 173, 9, 245 |
| 3 | 3, 47, 173, 3, 245 |
| 1, 47, 173, 1, 245 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 47 x 173 x 1 x 245 = 1936316340
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 243,846,346,972,980 is 1936316340.
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 846 x 346 x 972 x 980 = 67755581369280
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
846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 243,846,346,972,980, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
243:3x 3x 3x 3x 3
846:2x 3x 3x 47
346:2x 173
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
980:2x 2x 5x 7x 7
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 3x 3x 3x 3 = 34992
Therefore, the value for common factors is 34992.
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 = 67755581369280/(1x34992)
LCM = 67755581369280/34992
LCM = 1936316340
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 243,846,346,972,980 is 1936316340.
