The LCM of 843,538,270,972 is 367362540.
Find LCM of 843,538,270,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 843, 538, 270, 972 |
| 3 | 843, 269, 135, 486 |
| 3 | 281, 269, 45, 162 |
| 3 | 281, 269, 15, 54 |
| 281, 269, 5, 18 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 281 x 269 x 5 x 18 = 367362540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 843,538,270,972 is 367362540.
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.
843 x 538 x 270 x 972 = 119025462960
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.
843 : 1, 3, 281, 843
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
270 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 27, 30, 45, 54, 90, 135, 270
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 843,538,270,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
843:3x 281
538:2x 269
270:2x 3x 3x 3x 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 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 = 119025462960/(1x324)
LCM = 119025462960/324
LCM = 367362540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 843,538,270,972 is 367362540.
