Given numbers are 159,585,720
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 159,585,720 is 496080.
Find LCM of 159,585,720 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 159, 585, 720 |
| 3 | 53, 195, 240 |
| 5 | 53, 65, 80 |
| 53, 13, 16 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 3 x 5 x 53 x 13 x 16 = 496080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,585,720 is 496080.
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 585 x 720 = 66970800
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
585 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 15, 39, 45, 65, 117, 195, 585
720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,585,720, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
159:3x 53
585:3x 3x 5x 13
720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 5 = 45
Therefore, the value for common factors is 45.
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 = 66970800/(3x45)
LCM = 66970800/135
LCM = 496080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,585,720 is 496080.
