Find LCM of 172,740,615,159,185 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 172, 740, 615, 159, 185 |
| 2 | 86, 370, 615, 159, 185 |
| 3 | 43, 185, 615, 159, 185 |
| 5 | 43, 185, 205, 53, 185 |
| 37 | 43, 37, 41, 53, 37 |
| 43, 1, 41, 53, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 37 x 43 x 1 x 41 x 53 x 1 = 207434580
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 172,740,615,159,185 is 207434580.
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 740 x 615 x 159 x 185 = 2302523838000
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
740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740
615 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 41, 123, 205, 615
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
185 : 1, 5, 37, 185
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 172,740,615,159,185, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
172:2x 2x 43
740:2x 2x 5x 37
615:3x 5x 41
159:3x 53
185:5x 37
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 3x 5x 5x 37 = 11100
Therefore, the value for common factors is 11100.
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 = 2302523838000/(1x11100)
LCM = 2302523838000/11100
LCM = 207434580
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 172,740,615,159,185 is 207434580.
