Given numbers are 272,156,660,748,487

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

The LCM of 272,156,660,748,487 is 284135280.

Find LCM of 272,156,660,748,487 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 17 x 4 x 13 x 5 x 1 x 487 = 284135280

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 272,156,660,748,487 is 284135280.

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.

272 x 156 x 660 x 748 x 487 = 10201593093120

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.

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

660 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660

748 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748

487 : 1, 487

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 272,156,660,748,487, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

156:2x 2x 3x 13

660:2x 2x 3x 5x 11

748:2x 2x 11x 17

487:487

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 2x 2x 2x 3x 11x 17 = 35904

Therefore, the value for common factors is 35904.

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 = 10201593093120/(1x35904)

LCM = 10201593093120/35904

LCM = 284135280

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 272,156,660,748,487 is 284135280.
