Given numbers are 785,170,238,531
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 785,170,238,531 is 99206730.
Find LCM of 785,170,238,531 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 785, 170, 238, 531 |
| 5 | 785, 85, 119, 531 |
| 17 | 157, 17, 119, 531 |
| 157, 1, 7, 531 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 17 x 157 x 1 x 7 x 531 = 99206730
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 785,170,238,531 is 99206730.
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.
785 x 170 x 238 x 531 = 16865144100
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.
785 : 1, 5, 157, 785
170 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 85, 170
238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 785,170,238,531, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
785:5x 157
170:2x 5x 17
238:2x 7x 17
531:3x 3x 59
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 5x 17 = 170
Therefore, the value for common factors is 170.
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 = 16865144100/(1x170)
LCM = 16865144100/170
LCM = 99206730
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 785,170,238,531 is 99206730.
