Given numbers are 727,721,340,727,159

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

The LCM of 727,721,340,727,159 is 28336468020.

Find LCM of 727,721,340,727,159 with Prime Factorization

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

727 x 1 x 721 x 340 x 1 x 159 = 28336468020

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 727,721,340,727,159 is 28336468020.

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.

727 x 721 x 340 x 727 x 159 = 20600612250540

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.

727 : 1, 727

721 : 1, 7, 103, 721

340 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340

727 : 1, 727

159 : 1, 3, 53, 159

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 727,721,340,727,159, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

727:727

721:7x 103

340:2x 2x 5x 17

727:727

159:3x 53

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

727 = 727

Therefore, the value for common factors is 727.

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 = 20600612250540/(1x727)

LCM = 20600612250540/727

LCM = 28336468020

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 727,721,340,727,159 is 28336468020.
