Given numbers are 273,993,968,278
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 273,993,968,278 is 12158522376.
Find LCM of 273,993,968,278 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 273, 993, 968, 278 |
| 3 | 273, 993, 484, 139 |
| 91, 331, 484, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 91 x 331 x 484 x 139 = 12158522376
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 273,993,968,278 is 12158522376.
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.
273 x 993 x 968 x 278 = 72951134256
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.
273 : 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 39, 91, 273
993 : 1, 3, 331, 993
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 273,993,968,278, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
273:3x 7x 13
993:3x 331
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
278:2x 139
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 72951134256/(1x6)
LCM = 72951134256/6
LCM = 12158522376
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 273,993,968,278 is 12158522376.
