Given numbers are 259,278,474,869

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

The LCM of 259,278,474,869 is 187709214.

Find LCM of 259,278,474,869 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 79 x 259 x 139 x 3 x 11 = 187709214

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,278,474,869 is 187709214.

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.

259 x 278 x 474 x 869 = 29658055812

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.

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474

869 : 1, 11, 79, 869

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,278,474,869, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

278:2x 139

474:2x 3x 79

869:11x 79

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

2x 79 = 158

Therefore, the value for common factors is 158.

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 = 29658055812/(1x158)

LCM = 29658055812/158

LCM = 187709214

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,278,474,869 is 187709214.
