Given numbers are 163,489,156,364,278

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 163,489,156,364,278 is 24741444.

Find LCM of 163,489,156,364,278 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 163 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 7 x 139 = 24741444

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 163,489,156,364,278 is 24741444.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

163 x 489 x 156 x 364 x 278 = 1258250876064

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

163 : 1, 163

489 : 1, 3, 163, 489

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

364 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 182, 364

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 163,489,156,364,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

163:163

489:3x 163

156:2x 2x 3x 13

364:2x 2x 7x 13

278:2x 139

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2x 2x 3x 13x 163 = 50856

Therefore, the value for common factors is 50856.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 1258250876064/(1x50856)

LCM = 1258250876064/50856

LCM = 24741444

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 163,489,156,364,278 is 24741444.
