The LCM of 972,195,469,132 is 325945620.
Find LCM of 972,195,469,132 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 972, 195, 469, 132 |
| 2 | 486, 195, 469, 66 |
| 3 | 243, 195, 469, 33 |
| 81, 65, 469, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 81 x 65 x 469 x 11 = 325945620
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,195,469,132 is 325945620.
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.
972 x 195 x 469 x 132 = 11734042320
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.
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
195 : 1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 39, 65, 195
469 : 1, 7, 67, 469
132 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,195,469,132, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
195:3x 5x 13
469:7x 67
132:2x 2x 3x 11
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 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 11734042320/(1x36)
LCM = 11734042320/36
LCM = 325945620
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,195,469,132 is 325945620.
