Given numbers are 242,657,839,278

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

The LCM of 242,657,839,278 is 18542039274.

Find LCM of 242,657,839,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 121 x 657 x 839 x 139 = 18542039274

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,657,839,278 is 18542039274.

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.

242 x 657 x 839 x 278 = 37084078548

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.

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

657 : 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, 657

839 : 1, 839

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,657,839,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

242:2x 11x 11

657:3x 3x 73

839:839

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.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 37084078548/(1x2)

LCM = 37084078548/2

LCM = 18542039274

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,657,839,278 is 18542039274.
