The LCM of 972,902,945,973 is 2132679780.
Find LCM of 972,902,945,973 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 972, 902, 945, 973 |
| 3 | 486, 451, 945, 973 |
| 3 | 162, 451, 315, 973 |
| 3 | 54, 451, 105, 973 |
| 7 | 18, 451, 35, 973 |
| 18, 451, 5, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 18 x 451 x 5 x 139 = 2132679780
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,902,945,973 is 2132679780.
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 902 x 945 x 973 = 806152956840
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
902 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 41, 82, 451, 902
945 : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 27, 35, 45, 63, 105, 135, 189, 315, 945
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,902,945,973, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
902:2x 11x 41
945:3x 3x 3x 5x 7
973:7x 139
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 3x 7 = 378
Therefore, the value for common factors is 378.
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 = 806152956840/(1x378)
LCM = 806152956840/378
LCM = 2132679780
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,902,945,973 is 2132679780.
