Given numbers are 168,474,273
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 168,474,273 is 172536.
Find LCM of 168,474,273 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 168, 474, 273 |
| 3 | 84, 237, 273 |
| 7 | 28, 79, 91 |
| 4, 79, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 4 x 79 x 13 = 172536
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 168,474,273 is 172536.
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.
168 x 474 x 273 = 21739536
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.
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474
273 : 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 39, 91, 273
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 168,474,273, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
474:2x 3x 79
273:3x 7x 13
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 7 = 42
Therefore, the value for common factors is 42.
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 = 21739536/(3x42)
LCM = 21739536/126
LCM = 172536
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 168,474,273 is 172536.
