Given numbers are 159,260,468,188,746
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 159,260,468,188,746 is 2174194620.
Find LCM of 159,260,468,188,746 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 159, 260, 468, 188, 746 |
| 2 | 159, 130, 234, 94, 373 |
| 3 | 159, 65, 117, 47, 373 |
| 13 | 53, 65, 39, 47, 373 |
| 53, 5, 3, 47, 373 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 53 x 5 x 3 x 47 x 373 = 2174194620
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,260,468,188,746 is 2174194620.
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 260 x 468 x 188 x 746 = 2713394885760
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
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188
746 : 1, 2, 373, 746
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,260,468,188,746, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
159:3x 53
260:2x 2x 5x 13
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
188:2x 2x 47
746:2x 373
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 2x 3x 13 = 1248
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1248.
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 = 2713394885760/(1x1248)
LCM = 2713394885760/1248
LCM = 2174194620
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,260,468,188,746 is 2174194620.
