Given numbers are 972,692,140,990
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 972,692,140,990 is 64740060.
Find LCM of 972,692,140,990 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 972, 692, 140, 990 |
| 2 | 486, 346, 70, 495 |
| 3 | 243, 173, 35, 495 |
| 3 | 81, 173, 35, 165 |
| 5 | 27, 173, 35, 55 |
| 27, 173, 7, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 27 x 173 x 7 x 11 = 64740060
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,692,140,990 is 64740060.
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 692 x 140 x 990 = 93225686400
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
692 : 1, 2, 4, 173, 346, 692
140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140
990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,692,140,990, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
692:2x 2x 173
140:2x 2x 5x 7
990:2x 3x 3x 5x 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 2x 2x 3x 3x 5 = 720
Therefore, the value for common factors is 720.
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 = 93225686400/(2x720)
LCM = 93225686400/1440
LCM = 64740060
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,692,140,990 is 64740060.
