LCM( 440, 284, 550, 630 ) = 9840600
Step 1 : Write the given numbers in a horizontal line.
| 440 | 284 | 550 | 630 |
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 | 440 | 284 | 550 | 630 |
| 220 | 142 | 275 | 315 |
Step 3 : Continue dividing by prime numbers till we get 1 in all columns.
| 2 | 440 | 284 | 550 | 630 |
| 2 | 220 | 142 | 275 | 315 |
| 2 | 110 | 71 | 275 | 315 |
| 3 | 55 | 71 | 275 | 315 |
| 3 | 55 | 71 | 275 | 105 |
| 5 | 55 | 71 | 275 | 35 |
| 5 | 11 | 71 | 55 | 7 |
| 7 | 11 | 71 | 11 | 7 |
| 11 | 11 | 71 | 11 | 1 |
| 71 | 1 | 71 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Step 4 : Multiply numbers in first column to get LCM.
LCM( 440, 284, 550, 630 ) = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 7 · 11 · 71 = 9840600 .
