Given numbers are 274,538,311,280
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 274,538,311,280 is 3209159240.
Find LCM of 274,538,311,280 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 274, 538, 311, 280 |
| 137, 269, 311, 140 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 137 x 269 x 311 x 140 = 3209159240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 274,538,311,280 is 3209159240.
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.
274 x 538 x 311 x 280 = 12836636960
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.
274 : 1, 2, 137, 274
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
311 : 1, 311
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 274,538,311,280, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
274:2x 137
538:2x 269
311:311
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
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 = 12836636960/(1x4)
LCM = 12836636960/4
LCM = 3209159240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 274,538,311,280 is 3209159240.
