Given numbers are 741,120,675,972
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 741,120,675,972 is 12004200.
Find LCM of 741,120,675,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 741, 120, 675, 972 |
| 2 | 741, 60, 675, 486 |
| 3 | 741, 30, 675, 243 |
| 3 | 247, 10, 225, 81 |
| 3 | 247, 10, 75, 27 |
| 5 | 247, 10, 25, 9 |
| 247, 2, 5, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 247 x 2 x 5 x 9 = 12004200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 741,120,675,972 is 12004200.
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.
741 x 120 x 675 x 972 = 58340412000
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.
741 : 1, 3, 13, 19, 39, 57, 247, 741
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
675 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 27, 45, 75, 135, 225, 675
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 741,120,675,972, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
741:3x 13x 19
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
675:3x 3x 3x 5x 5
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 3x 5 = 1620
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1620.
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 = 58340412000/(3x1620)
LCM = 58340412000/4860
LCM = 12004200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 741,120,675,972 is 12004200.
