Find LCM of 783,946,537,236,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 783, 946, 537, 236, 972 |
| 2 | 783, 473, 537, 118, 486 |
| 3 | 783, 473, 537, 59, 243 |
| 3 | 261, 473, 179, 59, 81 |
| 3 | 87, 473, 179, 59, 27 |
| 29, 473, 179, 59, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 29 x 473 x 179 x 59 x 9 = 140809010364
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 783,946,537,236,972 is 140809010364.
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.
783 x 946 x 537 x 236 x 972 = 91244238715872
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.
783 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 29, 87, 261, 783
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 783,946,537,236,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
783:3x 3x 3x 29
946:2x 11x 43
537:3x 179
236:2x 2x 59
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 2x 3x 3x 3x 3 = 648
Therefore, the value for common factors is 648.
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 = 91244238715872/(1x648)
LCM = 91244238715872/648
LCM = 140809010364
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 783,946,537,236,972 is 140809010364.
