Given numbers are 204,184,437,138

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

The LCM of 204,184,437,138 is 178296.

Find LCM of 204,184,437,138 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 17 x 2 x 19 x 1 = 178296

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 204,184,437,138 is 178296.

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.

204 x 184 x 437 x 138 = 2263646016

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.

204 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204

184 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184

437 : 1, 19, 23, 437

138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 204,184,437,138, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

204:2x 2x 3x 17

184:2x 2x 2x 23

437:19x 23

138:2x 3x 23

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 3x 23x 23 = 12696

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12696.

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 = 2263646016/(1x12696)

LCM = 2263646016/12696

LCM = 178296

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 204,184,437,138 is 178296.
