Given numbers are 272,987,136,118,680
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 272,987,136,118,680 is 79196880.
Find LCM of 272,987,136,118,680 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 272, 987, 136, 118, 680 |
| 2 | 136, 987, 68, 59, 340 |
| 2 | 34, 987, 68, 59, 170 |
| 17 | 17, 987, 34, 59, 85 |
| 1, 987, 2, 59, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 1 x 987 x 2 x 59 x 5 = 79196880
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 272,987,136,118,680 is 79196880.
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 987 x 136 x 118 x 680 = 2929650984960
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
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
136 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
680 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 17, 20, 34, 40, 68, 85, 136, 170, 340, 680
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 272,987,136,118,680, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17
987:3x 7x 47
136:2x 2x 2x 17
118:2x 59
680:2x 2x 2x 5x 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 2x 2x 2x 17x 17 = 36992
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36992.
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 = 2929650984960/(1x36992)
LCM = 2929650984960/36992
LCM = 79196880
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 272,987,136,118,680 is 79196880.
