Given numbers are 672,159,254,284
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 672,159,254,284 is 321149472.
Find LCM of 672,159,254,284 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 672, 159, 254, 284 |
| 2 | 336, 159, 127, 142 |
| 3 | 168, 159, 127, 71 |
| 56, 53, 127, 71 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 56 x 53 x 127 x 71 = 321149472
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 672,159,254,284 is 321149472.
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.
672 x 159 x 254 x 284 = 7707587328
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.
672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
254 : 1, 2, 127, 254
284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 672,159,254,284, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
159:3x 53
254:2x 127
284:2x 2x 71
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 = 7707587328/(1x24)
LCM = 7707587328/24
LCM = 321149472
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 672,159,254,284 is 321149472.
