The LCM of 489,972,540,869 is 688404420.
Find LCM of 489,972,540,869 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 489, 972, 540, 869 |
| 2 | 489, 486, 270, 869 |
| 3 | 489, 243, 135, 869 |
| 3 | 163, 81, 45, 869 |
| 3 | 163, 27, 15, 869 |
| 163, 9, 5, 869 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 163 x 9 x 5 x 869 = 688404420
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 489,972,540,869 is 688404420.
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.
489 x 972 x 540 x 869 = 223043032080
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.
489 : 1, 3, 163, 489
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
869 : 1, 11, 79, 869
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 489,972,540,869, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
489:3x 163
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
869:11x 79
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 3x 3x 3x 3 = 324
Therefore, the value for common factors is 324.
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 = 223043032080/(1x324)
LCM = 223043032080/324
LCM = 688404420
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 489,972,540,869 is 688404420.
