Given numbers are 254,242,717,978

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

The LCM of 254,242,717,978 is 3591913314.

Find LCM of 254,242,717,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 127 x 121 x 239 x 163 = 3591913314

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 254,242,717,978 is 3591913314.

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.

254 x 242 x 717 x 978 = 43102959768

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.

254 : 1, 2, 127, 254

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

717 : 1, 3, 239, 717

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 254,242,717,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

254:2x 127

242:2x 11x 11

717:3x 239

978:2x 3x 163

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 3 = 12

Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.

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 = 43102959768/(1x12)

LCM = 43102959768/12

LCM = 3591913314

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 254,242,717,978 is 3591913314.
