Given numbers are 261,278,818,548

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

The LCM of 261,278,818,548 is 8131284828.

Find LCM of 261,278,818,548 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 261 x 139 x 409 x 274 = 8131284828

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,278,818,548 is 8131284828.

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.

261 x 278 x 818 x 548 = 32525139312

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.

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

818 : 1, 2, 409, 818

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,278,818,548, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

261:3x 3x 29

278:2x 139

818:2x 409

548:2x 2x 137

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 32525139312/(1x4)

LCM = 32525139312/4

LCM = 8131284828

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,278,818,548 is 8131284828.
