Step 2 : Divide the given numbers by smallest prime number. In this example we can divide by 2.
(if any number is not divisible by 2, write it down unchanged)
2 | 284 | 360 | 165 | 200 |
142 | 180 | 165 | 100 |
Step 3 : Continue dividing by prime numbers till we get 1 in all columns.
2 | 284 | 360 | 165 | 200 |
2 | 142 | 180 | 165 | 100 |
2 | 71 | 90 | 165 | 50 |
3 | 71 | 45 | 165 | 25 |
3 | 71 | 15 | 55 | 25 |
5 | 71 | 5 | 55 | 25 |
5 | 71 | 1 | 11 | 5 |
11 | 71 | 1 | 11 | 1 |
71 | 71 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Step 4 : Multiply numbers in first column to get LCM.
LCM( 284, 360, 165, 200 ) = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 11 · 71 = 1405800 .
