Given numbers are 248,278,722,548,557

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

The LCM of 248,278,722,548,557 is 949619109128.

Find LCM of 248,278,722,548,557 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 62 x 139 x 361 x 137 x 557 = 949619109128

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 248,278,722,548,557 is 949619109128.

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.

248 x 278 x 722 x 548 x 557 = 15193905746048

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.

248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

722 : 1, 2, 19, 38, 361, 722

548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548

557 : 1, 557

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 248,278,722,548,557, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

248:2x 2x 2x 31

278:2x 139

722:2x 19x 19

548:2x 2x 137

557:557

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 15193905746048/(1x16)

LCM = 15193905746048/16

LCM = 949619109128

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 248,278,722,548,557 is 949619109128.
