Given numbers are 720,168,159,921,183

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

The LCM of 720,168,159,921,183 is 5002356240.

Find LCM of 720,168,159,921,183 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 30 x 7 x 53 x 307 x 61 = 5002356240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 720,168,159,921,183 is 5002356240.

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.

720 x 168 x 159 x 921 x 183 = 3241526843520

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.

720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720

168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

921 : 1, 3, 307, 921

183 : 1, 3, 61, 183

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 720,168,159,921,183, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5

168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7

159:3x 53

921:3x 307

183:3x 61

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 3x 3x 3 = 216

Therefore, the value for common factors is 216.

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 = 3241526843520/(3x216)

LCM = 3241526843520/648

LCM = 5002356240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 720,168,159,921,183 is 5002356240.
