Given numbers are 526,201,156,172

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

The LCM of 526,201,156,172 is 118201668.

Find LCM of 526,201,156,172 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 263 x 67 x 13 x 43 = 118201668

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 526,201,156,172 is 118201668.

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.

526 x 201 x 156 x 172 = 2836840032

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.

526 : 1, 2, 263, 526

201 : 1, 3, 67, 201

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 526,201,156,172, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

526:2x 263

201:3x 67

156:2x 2x 3x 13

172:2x 2x 43

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 2836840032/(1x24)

LCM = 2836840032/24

LCM = 118201668

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 526,201,156,172 is 118201668.
