Given numbers are 263,872,270,173

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

The LCM of 263,872,270,173 is 5356142280.

Find LCM of 263,872,270,173 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 263 x 436 x 135 x 173 = 5356142280

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 263,872,270,173 is 5356142280.

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.

263 x 872 x 270 x 173 = 10712284560

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.

263 : 1, 263

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

270 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 27, 30, 45, 54, 90, 135, 270

173 : 1, 173

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 263,872,270,173, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

263:263

872:2x 2x 2x 109

270:2x 3x 3x 3x 5

173:173

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 10712284560/(1x2)

LCM = 10712284560/2

LCM = 5356142280

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 263,872,270,173 is 5356142280.
