Given numbers are 867,685,168,157
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 867,685,168,157 is 5221524840.
Find LCM of 867,685,168,157 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 867, 685, 168, 157 |
| 289, 685, 56, 157 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 289 x 685 x 56 x 157 = 5221524840
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 867,685,168,157 is 5221524840.
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.
867 x 685 x 168 x 157 = 15664574520
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.
867 : 1, 3, 17, 51, 289, 867
685 : 1, 5, 137, 685
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
157 : 1, 157
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 867,685,168,157, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
867:3x 17x 17
685:5x 137
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
157:157
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3 = 3
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3.
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 = 15664574520/(1x3)
LCM = 15664574520/3
LCM = 5221524840
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 867,685,168,157 is 5221524840.
