Find Least Common Multiple of 22, 121 and 200 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 22, 121, 200 ) = 24200
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
22 = 2 · 11
121 = 11 · 11
200 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 5 · 5
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 22 | = | 2 | · | 11 | ||||||||||
| 121 | = | 11 | · | 11 | ||||||||||
| 200 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 5 | · | 5 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 22 | = | 2 | · | 11 | ||||||||||||
| 121 | = | 11 | · | 11 | ||||||||||||
| 200 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 5 | · | 5 | ||||||
| LCM | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 5 | · | 5 | · | 11 | · | 11 | = | 24200 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The LCM is equal to the product of all the numbers on the diagram.
