LCM( 460, 684, 764, 400 ) = 300481200
Step 1 : Write the given numbers in a horizontal line.
| 460 | 684 | 764 | 400 |
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 | 460 | 684 | 764 | 400 |
| 230 | 342 | 382 | 200 |
Step 3 : Continue dividing by prime numbers till we get 1 in all columns.
| 2 | 460 | 684 | 764 | 400 |
| 2 | 230 | 342 | 382 | 200 |
| 2 | 115 | 171 | 191 | 100 |
| 2 | 115 | 171 | 191 | 50 |
| 3 | 115 | 171 | 191 | 25 |
| 3 | 115 | 57 | 191 | 25 |
| 5 | 115 | 19 | 191 | 25 |
| 5 | 23 | 19 | 191 | 5 |
| 19 | 23 | 19 | 191 | 1 |
| 23 | 23 | 1 | 191 | 1 |
| 191 | 1 | 1 | 191 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Step 4 : Multiply numbers in first column to get LCM.
LCM( 460, 684, 764, 400 ) = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 19 · 23 · 191 = 300481200 .
