Given numbers are 198,136,187,272

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 198,136,187,272 is 26928.

Find LCM of 198,136,187,272 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 17 x 9 x 1 x 1 x 2 = 26928

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 198,136,187,272 is 26928.

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.

198 x 136 x 187 x 272 = 1369665792

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.

198 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, 198

136 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136

187 : 1, 11, 17, 187

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 198,136,187,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

198:2x 3x 3x 11

136:2x 2x 2x 17

187:11x 17

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

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 11x 17x 17 = 50864

Therefore, the value for common factors is 50864.

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 = 1369665792/(1x50864)

LCM = 1369665792/50864

LCM = 26928

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 198,136,187,272 is 26928.
