Given numbers are 274,157,272,388,272

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

The LCM of 274,157,272,388,272 is 567493456.

Find LCM of 274,157,272,388,272 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 137 x 157 x 1 x 97 x 1 = 567493456

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 274,157,272,388,272 is 567493456.

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.

274 x 157 x 272 x 388 x 272 = 1234865760256

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.

274 : 1, 2, 137, 274

157 : 1, 157

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 274,157,272,388,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

274:2x 137

157:157

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

388:2x 2x 97

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 17 = 2176

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2176.

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 = 1234865760256/(1x2176)

LCM = 1234865760256/2176

LCM = 567493456

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 274,157,272,388,272 is 567493456.
