Given numbers are 272,217,254,372,520
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 272,217,254,372,520 is 1461729360.
Find LCM of 272,217,254,372,520 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 272, 217, 254, 372, 520 |
| 2 | 136, 217, 127, 186, 260 |
| 2 | 68, 217, 127, 93, 130 |
| 31 | 34, 217, 127, 93, 65 |
| 34, 7, 127, 3, 65 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 31 x 34 x 7 x 127 x 3 x 65 = 1461729360
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 272,217,254,372,520 is 1461729360.
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.
272 x 217 x 254 x 372 x 520 = 2900071050240
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.
272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272
217 : 1, 7, 31, 217
254 : 1, 2, 127, 254
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 272,217,254,372,520, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17
217:7x 31
254:2x 127
372:2x 2x 3x 31
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
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 2x 2x 31 = 1984
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1984.
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 = 2900071050240/(1x1984)
LCM = 2900071050240/1984
LCM = 1461729360
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 272,217,254,372,520 is 1461729360.
