Given numbers are 645,972,144,993
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 645,972,144,993 is 276689520.
Find LCM of 645,972,144,993 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 645, 972, 144, 993 |
| 2 | 645, 486, 72, 993 |
| 3 | 645, 243, 36, 993 |
| 3 | 215, 81, 12, 331 |
| 215, 27, 4, 331 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 215 x 27 x 4 x 331 = 276689520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 645,972,144,993 is 276689520.
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.
645 x 972 x 144 x 993 = 89647404480
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.
645 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 43, 129, 215, 645
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
993 : 1, 3, 331, 993
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 645,972,144,993, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
645:3x 5x 43
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
993:3x 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 3x 3x 3 = 108
Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.
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 = 89647404480/(3x108)
LCM = 89647404480/324
LCM = 276689520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 645,972,144,993 is 276689520.
