Given numbers are 172,260,416,271
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 172,260,416,271 is 24238240.
Find LCM of 172,260,416,271 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 172, 260, 416, 271 |
| 2 | 86, 130, 208, 271 |
| 13 | 43, 65, 104, 271 |
| 43, 5, 8, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 43 x 5 x 8 x 271 = 24238240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 172,260,416,271 is 24238240.
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.
172 x 260 x 416 x 271 = 5041553920
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.
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
416 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416
271 : 1, 271
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 172,260,416,271, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
172:2x 2x 43
260:2x 2x 5x 13
416:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 13
271:271
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 13 = 208
Therefore, the value for common factors is 208.
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 = 5041553920/(1x208)
LCM = 5041553920/208
LCM = 24238240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 172,260,416,271 is 24238240.
