1. **Problem statement:** Draw the prime factor tree for 190 and find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 105 and 190.
2. **Prime factorization of 190:**
- Start with 190.
- Divide by the smallest prime factor: 2 (since 190 is even).
- $190 \div 2 = 95$
- Next, factor 95.
- 95 is divisible by 5: $95 \div 5 = 19$
- 19 is a prime number.
So, the prime factor tree for 190 is:
$$
190
|\
2
95
|\
5
19
$$
3. **Prime factorization summary:**
- $105 = 3 \times 5 \times 7$
- $190 = 2 \times 5 \times 19$
4. **Formula for LCM:**
The LCM of two numbers is the product of the highest powers of all prime factors involved.
5. **Calculate LCM:**
- Prime factors involved: 2, 3, 5, 7, 19
- Take the highest power of each:
- 2 appears in 190 (power 1)
- 3 appears in 105 (power 1)
- 5 appears in both (power 1)
- 7 appears in 105 (power 1)
- 19 appears in 190 (power 1)
So,
$$\text{LCM} = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 \times 19$$
Calculate step-by-step:
- $2 \times 3 = 6$
- $6 \times 5 = 30$
- $30 \times 7 = 210$
- $210 \times 19 = 3990$
6. **Final answer:**
The lowest common multiple of 105 and 190 is **3990**.
