LCM( 102, 136, 150, 170 ) = 10200
Step 1 : Write the given numbers in a horizontal line.
| 102 | 136 | 150 | 170 |
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 | 102 | 136 | 150 | 170 |
| 51 | 68 | 75 | 85 |
Step 3 : Continue dividing by prime numbers till we get 1 in all columns.
| 2 | 102 | 136 | 150 | 170 |
| 2 | 51 | 68 | 75 | 85 |
| 2 | 51 | 34 | 75 | 85 |
| 3 | 51 | 17 | 75 | 85 |
| 5 | 17 | 17 | 25 | 85 |
| 5 | 17 | 17 | 5 | 17 |
| 17 | 17 | 17 | 1 | 17 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Step 4 : Multiply numbers in first column to get LCM.
LCM( 102, 136, 150, 170 ) = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 17 = 10200 .
