Given numbers are 159,190,237,342
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 159,190,237,342 is 7159770.
Find LCM of 159,190,237,342 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 159, 190, 237, 342 |
| 3 | 159, 95, 237, 171 |
| 19 | 53, 95, 79, 57 |
| 53, 5, 79, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 19 x 53 x 5 x 79 x 3 = 7159770
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,190,237,342 is 7159770.
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.
159 x 190 x 237 x 342 = 2448641340
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.
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
190 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 38, 95, 190
237 : 1, 3, 79, 237
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,190,237,342, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
159:3x 53
190:2x 5x 19
237:3x 79
342:2x 3x 3x 19
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 19 = 342
Therefore, the value for common factors is 342.
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 = 2448641340/(1x342)
LCM = 2448641340/342
LCM = 7159770
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,190,237,342 is 7159770.
