Find LCM of 972,963,887,432 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 972, 963, 887, 432 |
| 2 | 486, 963, 887, 216 |
| 3 | 243, 963, 887, 108 |
| 3 | 81, 321, 887, 36 |
| 3 | 27, 107, 887, 12 |
| 9, 107, 887, 4 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 107 x 887 x 4 = 369006192
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 972,963,887,432 is 369006192.
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 963 x 887 x 432 = 358674018624
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
963 : 1, 3, 9, 107, 321, 963
887 : 1, 887
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 972,963,887,432, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
963:3x 3x 107
887:887
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 3x 3 = 972
Therefore, the value for common factors is 972.
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 = 358674018624/(1x972)
LCM = 358674018624/972
LCM = 369006192
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 972,963,887,432 is 369006192.
