Step 1 : Write the given numbers in a horizontal line.
286 | 285 | 165 | 200 |
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 | 286 | 285 | 165 | 200 |
143 | 285 | 165 | 100 |
Step 3 : Continue dividing by prime numbers till we get 1 in all columns.
2 | 286 | 285 | 165 | 200 |
2 | 143 | 285 | 165 | 100 |
2 | 143 | 285 | 165 | 50 |
3 | 143 | 285 | 165 | 25 |
5 | 143 | 95 | 55 | 25 |
5 | 143 | 19 | 11 | 5 |
11 | 143 | 19 | 11 | 1 |
13 | 13 | 19 | 1 | 1 |
19 | 1 | 19 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Step 4 : Multiply numbers in first column to get LCM.
LCM( 286, 285, 165, 200 ) = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 11 · 13 · 19 = 1630200 .
