LCM( 219, 582, 776 ) = 169944
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
219 = 3 · 73
582 = 2 · 3 · 97
776 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 97
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
219 | = | 3 | · | 73 | ||||||||
582 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 97 | ||||||
776 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 97 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
219 | = | 3 | · | 73 | ||||||||||
582 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 97 | ||||||||
776 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 97 | ||||||
LCM | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 73 | · | 97 | = | 169944 |
