Given numbers are 237,158,556

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

The LCM of 237,158,556 is 131772.

Find LCM of 237,158,556 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 79 x 3 x 1 x 278 = 131772

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 237,158,556 is 131772.

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.

237 x 158 x 556 = 20819976

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.

237 : 1, 3, 79, 237

158 : 1, 2, 79, 158

556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 237,158,556, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

237:3x 79

158:2x 79

556:2x 2x 139

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 79 = 158

Therefore, the value for common factors is 158.

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 = 20819976/(1x158)

LCM = 20819976/158

LCM = 131772

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 237,158,556 is 131772.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 609, 578, 376
