The LCM of 908,968,162,187 is 302576472.
Find LCM of 908,968,162,187 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 908, 968, 162, 187 |
| 2 | 454, 484, 81, 187 |
| 11 | 227, 242, 81, 187 |
| 227, 22, 81, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 11 x 227 x 22 x 81 x 17 = 302576472
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 908,968,162,187 is 302576472.
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.
908 x 968 x 162 x 187 = 26626729536
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.
908 : 1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 908,968,162,187, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
908:2x 2x 227
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
187:11x 17
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 11 = 88
Therefore, the value for common factors is 88.
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 = 26626729536/(1x88)
LCM = 26626729536/88
LCM = 302576472
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 908,968,162,187 is 302576472.
